First of all: I am still alive!
Second: I wish we had heaps of snow and frost and everything to keep me in the house, quiet, still and cosy. Life is to brute, sometimes!
That's why I thought, I'll post some art brut, images from a museum near Vienna, which we visited on our way along the Danube. The artists living at Maria Gugging have psychiatric illnesses and mental disabilities, but showing great humour and a huge lust of colours. (http://www.gugging.org/index.php/en/art-brut-center)

Extraordinary, I shall come back to this for a longer look after work.

Fascinating naive art, Johanna; better pictures than I could draw!
Bill
A riot of colours and painting, animals and lettering. A tremendous set from this find on your travels Johanna, you always bring us something unusual. Strange how one name jumps out at us.
Good to see you back and posting, I hope your husband is back to fitness again?

Yes, that name springs out at us, but as it seems, the artist framed it with two crosses! I wondered what thoughts went through his troubled mind while he was painting. It looks like he knows a lot and was trying to express a lot in this painting. It is only one wall in his room, but all the walls and the ceilling looks like this - amazing and slightly disturbing...

What wonderful and colourful artwork, Johanna 
Just the thing to brighten up these grey, dismal days 
Trev
So much to see here Johanna - wonderful colours

I like the way the artwork fills your frame in V1. The pictures remind me of some that I saw in South America (Panama), they have that sort of style, and are also very colourful.
A splendid selection of very colourful artwork for us to view, I agree entirely with Ron's sentiments, he's summed things up so succinctly above
V1 is fascinating ,lots of political and religious symbols scattered about ,obviously means something to the artist . I struggle to understand the minds of so called normal people ,at times ,perhaps we should all express our inner thoughts for public assesment ,scary thought.
