Do you ever find yourself asking why something happened or why  something is true or even mysterious?  I do. I enjoy being challenged to acquire information that pertains to beauty, the environment, animals and people. Knowing a fact often leads me to wondering, which then leads me to reading more about that particular subject.

In the last week I thought perhaps it would be fun to host a visual mystery game here at my blog centered on a great piece of artwork. I have always found it interesting to identify a piece of art by artist, title, medium and interesting facts concerning the piece .

Have you ever played the game, “Micro Mystery” ? If not here is what you do to participate. Below you will see a small portion of a piece of art work which is a clue to the larger piece. If you know the work or the artist or both you can email me your answers by clicking here with the title and the name of the artist. Then if you know something interesting about the artist or the work you can enter it as a clue in the comment section below which can help others find out who the artist is and what the title of the work is. The name of the artist and the title of the work should not be included in the clue. This will help keep everyone in the game until I reveal the correct answers on Friday.  The names of those who emailed me with the correct artist name and the title will also be posted on Friday.  Good Luck to all who participate.
