I hunted through the old threads, but I couldn’t find it. In an early October discussion of “What is your desktop wallpaper,” someone mentioned a site with an online database of art. It had it all - Kadinsky, Monet, Van Gogh, Dali - a fantastic collection. I bookmarked it, but have not been back to it in a bit. And then… the TWIT who was using my computer while I was out deleted my Favourites! AUGH!

I think it was Ukelele Ike who posted the site… my apologies if I am crediting the wrong person… but I would really love to get that address back.

Thanks! 🙂

This is the site where I get my wallpapers - it has quite a few famous artists in its vaults.

And for the other side of the coin, try [Bad Art](http://www.badart.com/) and [Thrift Store Paintings](http://www.word.com/gigo/thriftart/). Both of these sites have some really achingly bad stuff.
