MONTH TWO: TURNER!

So, I'm purposefully going into this month's topic without doing any research first, just to see how much on an ass I can make out of myself.

I had been turning this possibility around in my head, and once I saw last Tuesday's sunset, I knew it had to be.
I recently started an art class, have been thinking about art in general on many different levels, and for some reason this fellow kept popping into my head. The funny thing is, I can't for the life of me remember his first name, and aside from a general positive pleasant feeling around the concept of his work, I mostly just associate him with gorgeous reddish skies. My other connections with him are thru a Rufus Wainwright song and an episode devoted to him in Simon Schama's The Power of Art series. (Obviously not nearly enough of that episode stuck with me, so one of my assignments this month is to watch it again.)

So here we go, diving into February mostly ignorant but eager to learn!
