Hellelil and Hildebrand, the meeting on the turret stairs, by Frederic William Burton.

The painting depicts an intimate, poignant moment between two lovers in a narrow medieval turret stairway.

On the left stands Hellelil, a medieval noblewoman dressed in a magnificent flowing gown of deep, vibrant blue.

On the right is Hildebrand, a knight or warrior in full medieval armor:

He wears chainmail covering his head (a mail coif), arms, and legs
Over the chainmail is a rich crimson or burgundy surcoat decorated with elaborate gold embroidery or tooling showing heraldic or decorative patterns
A large sword hangs at his side, suspended from an ornately decorated belt and scabbard with intricate metalwork
His legs are wrapped in cloth bindings (leg wrappings or hose) over the mail
Brown leather boots
His head is bowed, and his eyes are closed, lost in the embrace
One armored hand reaches around to hold Hellelil

In a craggy, remote place, a witchlike figure stands next to a large black cauldron with glowing greenish smoke boiling up out of it into the dull blue evening sky. The cauldron is lit yellow-orange from below by fire. The witch isn't looking at the cauldron, though; they're looking at a laptop perched on a stool. While the screen is too small to be legible, someone familiar with YouTube will have the impression that the witch is watching a YouTube video tutorial. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Silent Sunday 💫

#art #mastoart #fediart #fantasy #scifi #speedpaint #krita #silentSunday #digitalArt #noai

We are on an alien planet. A psychedelic sun in the far distance catches our attention. Cities are aligned to the sunbeams, reaching far into the distance. Giant stone statues are worshipping the sun. On the left, they are holding planets with different colorations from blue to yellow. On the right, the statues have empty hands. Do they take turns with this precious responsibility? The clouds follow the sun, and stars shine brightly.

The side of a house at night. The roof and porch column are decorated with red, white, and green holiday lights. The lights are connected to a small grayish box on the side of the house. The box has two icons, one of a Halloween pumpkin and one of a Christmas tree. It also has a large switch next to the icons. The switch, which one can presume was set to the Halloween setting yesterday, is now in the Christmas tree position. The sky is blue and filled with stars. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The cavernous industrial interior of a spaceship. The walls appear to be made of some harsh, concrete-gray substance, and have various odd striations and geometric formations. The floor is flat and gray. In the lower right is a circular pipe or something in the wall; in the top right, there are three glowing vertical bars of greenish-white light. In the center is a huge round window through which is visible a black, deep-space sky full of stars and a blue planet. The planet has a slight blue color to it, and does not look like there is any life on it. Sitting on the lower part of the window is a gray cat with its tail hanging down, looking out through the window.

Illustrated vintage pin-up calendar from 1952.

A blonde woman with a girl-next-door face sits on the ground and leans forward on her arms. She wears just a silky blue shirt that ever so barely reaches the top of her thighs. Her right knee is bent and her long left leg stretches out behind her, toes pointed like a dancer. She looks over her shoulder and smiles at the viewer.

At the bottom, text says:

Although you're an expert hunter,
A dead shot with a dash o' luck,
Better sharpen your aim for this fair game—
She's no man's sitting duck.

I'm happy that my watercolor painting 'Ladybird on four-leaf clover' won first place in the Fine Art America contest 'Saint Patrick's Day' run by the Creative Women Group.
Thank you to everyone who voted!

Ladybird on four-leaf clover is a detail from the watercolor painting A lucky day painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The original painting was painted in landscape format. Here, a section in square format was chosen. Another cut-out in portrait format is also available in my shop. Choose for yourself which format fits best in your rooms.
The watercolor painting is built up of many layers of different bright fresh green tones and shows the abstracted detail of a wildflower meadow with many four-leaf clovers. On one of the clovers sits a red ladybird with black dots. Due to the strong complementary contrast between red and green, this little lucky ladybird is the focus of the picture and attracts attention. The four-leaf clovers and the ladybird are symbols of luck. I wish you that this picture brings a lot of luck and joy into your home.

Welsh actress Sarah Siddons was born #OTD in 1755.

Sarah Siddons is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Lady Macbeth, a role she first played in 1785. Siddons excelled in a range of tragic roles, including Constance in Shakespeare's "King John," Queen Katherine in "Henry VIII," and Volumnia in "Coriolanus."

A silent watcher beneath the green surface — this alligator was just a few feet away, perfectly hidden among the duckweed and reeds of the Florida Everglades. A reminder that in these waters, the wild is always closer than it seems.

Incredible on an oversized medium, metal, canvas and a great gift idea for the nature lover in your life.

While I usually plan my realistic paintings in advance - in my head or as a sketch on paper, I usually paint my abstract paintings spontaneously and intuitively.

Lisa del Giocondo died #OTD in 1542.

According to Giorgio Vasari and numerous other scholars, Lisa Gherardini was the woman portrayed in Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, a work commissioned from the artist during the early 16th century by her husband. Centuries after da Vinci´s death, the Mona Lisa became the world's most famous painting and a symbol of Western art. In 2005, Lisa Gherardini was definitively identified as the model for Leonardo's painting.
