Proserpine, 1874, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, with Jane Morris as model.

Proserpine stands in a shadowy corridor, with a faintly illuminated archway behind her that hints at the underworld’s confines.

She holds a single pomegranate, from which she has taken a bite — the fruit that bound her to the underworld because, by eating it, she was fated to return each year.

Huguenot lovers on St. Bartholomew's Day by John Everett Millais.

The painting shows a young Huguenot couple in 16th-century France, just before the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre of 1572, when thousands of French Protestants (Huguenots) were slaughtered by Catholic mobs.

They stand in a secluded garden corner, ivy and stone walls around them.

The young man wears a blue-gray doublet and brown hose, while the woman wears a soft pink gown with white sleeves.

The girl, deeply distressed, is trying to tie a white Catholic armband (the badge) around her lover’s arm.

Now, then. This is the kind of "noise" I really like.

It's not a pop star screeching.

Nor some celebrity whose character acts the same in every movies telling me something I should be doing. Worse than a nosy neighbor.

Nor some politician making promises he has no intention of keeping.

No, it's the majestic, powerful noise of cascading water in the spring. Real stuff.

bright day - the hedgehog
wakened from hibernation
by the smell of spring

Hedgehog in spring is a watercolour painting in landscape format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small hedgehog with brown spines sits in bright green grass against a calm blue sky. He curiously stretches his nose into the air and sniffs the fresh spring air. He seems to be smiling. The loose brushstrokes of the watercolour lend the scene a gentle and peaceful aura.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

Here the watercolor painting was supplemented with the haiku in English.

"Morning In The Laurel Highlands" ...

Another #digitallyhandpainted image (from my own photo) of my favorite view, this time with the distant #LaurelHighlands #mountains of #Pennsylvania in better view. Early #spring up there is about May as the trees don't leaf out until a bit later at 3000 feet.

"Morning In The Laurel Highlands" ...

A lush forest scene in the Laurel Highlands of Central Pennsylvania showcases tall trees with vibrant green foliage under a bright blue sky. Morning sunlight filters through the branches, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

A view of the distant mountains from the top of Blue Knob All Seasons Resort in full spring is a fine sight to wake up to. Grab your coffee and pull up a chair ... let's enjoy this magical moment as we gaze out over the ski slopes covered in greens and golds instead of their winter coating of frosty white snow.

Loosely based on my own photo and digitally hand painted in Corel Painter 2023 using the Wacom tablet and art pen stylus. No artificial intelligence programs used. Fine art as well as product purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... your wall art will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

A unique and artistic wooden sculpture situated in a forest setting. The sculpture, crafted from natural wood, depicts two abstract figures embracing against a live tree. Both figures have a rustic, weathered appearance, blending in with their surroundings. In the background, the forest continues, with numerous tall trees creating a dense, natural backdrop.

The wooden sculptures are part of the Skulpturenpfad by Thomas Rees near Freiburg.

This is a habit of drawing every time I feel the urge to scroll mindlessly. New good habit replacing a bad habit!

This page is all about chameleons, my first page of reptiles!

To the right is a large chameleon with a question mark and looking to the right. It is holding onto a branch. Below to the left is a standing chameleon with an exclamation point above its head. Bottom left is a chameleon snagging a bug with its long tongue. The word NNNNOM!! is written below. To the right is a crouching chameleon holding onto a branch and with a heart.

Whoa, a ref sheet? Of ME!??

It has been vastly overdue, but it's finally happened!!

#art #dragon #dragonart #refsheet #fursona

A detailed ref sheet of me, Melvian. I'm an aquamarine four-legged ice dragon. I have massive wings, antennas on my head, blue iris, large eyes, a smaller but long snout, relatively tall legs, a soft, ratchet-like blue mane that runs down my neck all the way to my tail, and a very long tail that ends in a large, glowing blue diamond. Also a floppy round tongue, which extends a bit when blepping, but can extend longer to catch strawberries for instance. I have five fingers on my hands/forefeet, four toes on my hind feet. The ref sheet shows me in various different angles and in standing and sitting poses. It also shows my wings being posed in folded form, fully extended form for flying, and relaxed form which is in between, and the most common. I'm male (he/they), aroace, and introverted. I have interests in type design, graphic design, programming, old hardware, character design and animation. I'm generally not interested in video games (except for socializing), movies, TV shows, pop culture, mainstream social media. Physically speaking, I'm capable of flying, spewing out a solid stream of ice, and withstanding subzero temperatures. Can hang out in room temperature environments for a few hours at a time. Can overheat easily in hotter summer temperatures, upward of 100+ degrees Fahrenheit. The ref sheet also contains information about my personality. For alt text on that section, please see the first response to this thread.
