Baudelaire's Mistress (Portrait of Jeanne Duval), 1862. By Manet.

Manet shows Jeanne Duval reclining on a green sofa or chaise lounge, wearing a voluminous white crinoline dress and holding a green fan. Her dark hair and direct gaze create a striking contrast with the white dress. The background features decorative wallpaper or fabric panels.

So much life had been lived in this place: the old church had looked out upon generations of families farming in this valley, people who climbed up to the hilltop city to visit its markets, walk its streets, enter its buildings.

The technology had changed but humanity had not: there were goodness and evil, greed and kindness, fear and calm.

Reality is timeless.

So many moments in the day, and they don't, really, have to all be efficient.

Of course, if we were machines, that would be different, because the very purpose of a machine is to perform a task efficiently.

But we're not machines, and we're not computers. And more importantly, we are not inferior to machines and computers.

We created them.

I am not doing good at time management or indeed any approximation of knowing what day it is, but today was the last day to drop off art for the Somerville Open Studios and I managed to get this done just in time. Despite 1) running out of black thread (howwwww) and 2) goofing up the insignia the first time. Still. She looks good.

I probably did not need to agonize as much as I did over whether it’s the right shade of teal/blue but who am I even if I can’t overthink things.

A messenger bag hanging from a porch railing. It’s giving “medical uniform from Star Trek TNG” except it’s like. A bag. Got the insignia and the little black waistline angle and everything.

Happy Star Wars Day!

You might not know this, but I'm a wookiepedia... Star Wars Galaxies was my first MMORPG and my favorite game as a kid/teen. I played it for a few years until Sony shut it down. Ever since then, I've continued my SW obsession and now I hold too much power to be stopped.

I can't relive the days of SWG, unfortunately, but I can share with you some Star Wars fanart I have made in the past.

I send thanks to the buyer from Canada who purchased a framed print of

Field of Dreams -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/field-of-dreams-steve-henderson.html?product=framed-print

May the artwork take you to an extraordinarily pleasant meadow, one in which you wander about freely, with total abandon, as if you were a child discovering a most magical place.

After spending months on that JunkRaven art I figured I should do something a little simpler.

Also, I'm gay.

Take a deep breath is a combination of ink drawing and watercolour painting by artist Karen Kaspar. A cute cat sniffs at pink carnation blossoms. The kitten has closed its eyes and seems to enjoy the scent of the flowers with a smile. Take a deep breath and relax. The black minimalist ink drawing of the cat on a white background and the loose watercolour washes of the flowers in vivid shades of pink and green create an exciting pictorial effect.

Rare Watercolor by ‘Wuthering Heights’ Author Emily Brontë Will Go on Public Display for the First Time

“The North Wind,” painted while Emily and her sister Charlotte were studying in Belgium, is now heading to the Brontë family home in Yorkshire

By Eli Wizevich

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/rare-watercolor-by-wuthering-heights-author-emily-bronte-will-go-on-public-display-for-the-first-time-180986423/?utm_source=smithsoniandaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=editorial&lctg=93133550

#books #art #literature

Portrait of Lady Charlotte Harley (1801-1880) as Ianthe (Lord Byron, "To Ianthe," Childe Harold's Pilgrimage).

Drawn by R. Westall. Engraved by W. Finden. - W. Brockedon (annotator). Finden's Illustrations of Life and Works of Lord Byron. Vol. II. London: John Murray, Albemarle Street, 1833.

Lady Charlotte is depicted in a graceful, seated pose, with her head slightly tilted and gaze turned gently outward or downward. Her expression is soft, serene, and composed, exuding an air of idealized purity and introspection.

She wears classical-style clothing, often a flowing gown reminiscent of Greco-Roman dress, a hallmark of Romantic portraiture. Her hair is arranged in soft curls, enhancing the youthful innocence Byron emphasized in his poem.
