The "Old Paint" blog isn't new. (It's creator—identified as Mariana from Lisbon, Portugal—has been posting an "old painting" a day for a couple of years now.) But it has brought new joy to my morning cup of tea.

A friend of mine turned me onto the site a few weeks ago, and I find that I can't wait to see what new master work will turn up each morning. I've been pleased to find a few familiar favorites show up, but I've also been introduced to lesser known artists and works that have been a thrill.

Check it out for yourself. Hint: If you follow the left hand navigation bar down the page, you'll find that you can locate art that's been featured on the blog based on when the art was created and by whom.

Has your favorite painting made the list yet? What painting would you like to see in tomorrow's post?
