And now for something completely different...

This post is a little different to the usual badger drooling but I've been meaning to put this up for a while now.

When I was travelling around Europe last year I visited the Leopold Museum in Vienna. It was full of fab paintings and sculptures but one painting stood out from all the others for me.
Gustav Klimt's 'Death and Life'.
I had been vaguely familiar with Klimt from Art class in school. I stood on front of that painting for ages, looking at the detail and the expressions he had painted. It was amazing.

Since then I've had a great interest in the work of Klimt and love other paintings of his like 'Love', 'Tragedy' and probably the most widely known 'The Kiss'
