My favorite this week is this bizarre image by @kouhei-gahaku; in part because it took me time to realize how much I liked it.  Imagine this piece on a wall and it will help you further understand the dynamic effect of this image.

Again @donnadavisart shares with us here beautiful painting and a thread full of gorgeous art you can devour at high resolution for free. If you enjoy her, please show your appreciation for her HARD work.(yes work). And If you want to show even more appreciation; while making an investment of your own; you can bid on some of her R.A.R.E. art assets on the blockchain [here](https://steemit.com/art/@donnadavisart/my-art-on-the-blockchain-at-r-a-r-e-auction)
You will not just be supporting her; but also an idea, a movement, a possible new Renaissance if artists might once again be appreciated and earn what they are worth.

Please time to view this entire thread. @veryspider creates beautiful drawings based on photos taken by steemian @blastik, and it is such a thrill to enjoy the process.

I see a lot of regulars dropping off over the last couple of weeks; taking a break as it were. I hope they come back soon because there are so many exciting things happening on the blockchain now; and so much beautiful art. 

Please take some time to show some appreciation; a vote a resteem, even an honest comment can sometimes be all people need to keep them around a little more. If you want to support Steem as a currency, a community and a way of life; please show some appreciation for those that work hard on it; artistic or otherwise.
