What’s amazing about FridaysAA is that the vast majority of people don’t have to work on Saturday (at least not for their corporate overlords).AA That is part of the reason why we have ART DAY! on Fridays, sort of to help you decompress and slide into your weekend.

Today’s featured artist didn’t even start painting until he was well into retirement years.AA Imagine that, a talent like this undeveloped until you’re 73 years old.AA LluAAs MassAA i Garriga (RIP), a Catalan artist, really waited that long before painting all the wonderful work you see before you.AA Exceptionally stunning are his floral paintings and landscapes.AA His photo-realistic style will have you transfixed for extended periods of time.

Apparently, up until his death in 2003 he refused to sell any of his work.AA However, he did permit the inheritor of his estate to sell the works, making them currently available to the public, sold by his grandson.AA Check it out.
