  1. Oh, I wouldn't want to be cursed to it for eternity, but for just a day, wouldn't it be nice to be like this: to have the ability to push your dainty feet and go up, up, and away into the clouds...

    A portrait of Princess Karoline of Liechtenstein by Le Brun.

  3. I took two older panels and went to the woods today to make some quick studies. Trying to keep it simple and concise and I kind of like the results. I think I will make this a weekly thing for now, I really want to become a master of the forest. It’s my favorite flavor!

  4. Another luminous evening, with clouds: Wednesday W45Y5

    Yesterday's image showed a summer evening just past dusk, and the color of the sky and air felt luminous. Today's image has a sky full of clouds that feel similarly luminous to me. It's by Mondrian, before he entered his geometric ultimate abstraction phase. It's really a beautiful classical style of painting. Do you see what I mean about the light in the clouds? Windmill in the evening (Oil painting, 1917) by Piet Mondrian

  6. By Trinidadian-American actor/dancer/musician/director/choreographer/artist Geoffrey Holder (1930-2014), portrait of his wife, actress/choreographer/dancer Carmen de Lavallade, 1976, oil on canvas, 61 × 40 ½ inches (framed). #arthistory #blackhistory #blackartists #blackart #blackartist #painting #oilpainting

    From James Fuentes Gallery: “The artist’s oeuvre demonstrates a deep interest in representing the totality of black life, registered here in compositions that move from the quiet intimacy of bedrooms and parlors to the lively energy encountered in city streets and nightclubs. Anchored in portraiture, at times Holder’s images are also steeped in religious iconography and a bold reverence for nature—consummately rendered in such a way that they appear at once contemporary, historical, and thus timeless…

    Holder’s attunement to beauty imbued much of his portraiture with a mysterious quality—likely amplified by the fact that most of his figures were painted from imagination rather than life. Holder engaged the body as if it were a paintbrush or pen; his choreography resembled movements like brushstrokes and, in turn, his paintings reflected an intimate physical sensibility. For Holder, painting provided fertile terrain for his astonishing experimentations in style, representation, and expression. To this day, Holder’s work remains as contemporary as when it was made.”

  8. TFW you feel the breeze of the world passing you by filtering through your window, and you would feel like you must scream...were it not for feeling like you'd rather not move...

  10. The start of an adventure that will become the stuff of legend? Perhaps, but then again, all of Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach's girls have a dreamy quality to them, don't they?

    From the ever-spiritual master himself, "Abschied".
