“Le dessin n'est pas la forme, il est la manière de voir la forme.”

Edgar Degas (19 July 1834 – 27 September 1917)

Sémiramis construisant Babylone, 1861. Musée d'Orsay, Paris.

The central figure in the painting is Queen Semiramis, who is depicted standing tall and regal amidst the bustling construction scene. She is commanding and authoritative, embodying the mythological grandeur associated with her. Surrounding her are numerous laborers and architects, diligently working on the grandiose project. The painting captures the energy and activity of the construction site with a dynamic composition that guides the viewer’s eye through the scene.

Streetartwall. A mural with a large impressionist landscape scene was painted on the outside wall of a three-storey modern building. Designed like an oil painting, a lush green tree with a thick trunk is in focus on the right. It is leaning slightly to the right. The tree's foliage dominates the wall painting and is depicted with loose, expressive brushstrokes in various shades of green. To the left of the tree, a gentle stream meanders through the landscape. The soft blue tones of the sky are reflected in the water of the stream. The ground is a grassy landscape dotted with red and orange patches representing wildflowers or poppies. Beautiful.

The Black Hat, 1914

By Lilla Cabot Perry

The painting depicts a young woman wearing a striking black hat adorned with elegant ribbons or decorations.

Her attire is likely a soft, flowing garment, rendered in muted tones, contrasting with the boldness of her hat.

The composition emphasizes the subject's face, framed delicately by her hat and softened by Perry's characteristic brushwork. The woman's expression is introspective and serene, giving the painting a quiet, contemplative mood.

Lady with a Bowl of Violets, 1910.

The painting features a seated woman, elegantly dressed, holding or positioned near a bowl of violets.

The violets, with their rich purple hues, create a striking focal point within the composition and symbolize delicacy and refinement.

Jacques-Émile Blanche, Portrait de Marcel Proust (1892), Paris, musée d'Orsay.

This portrait was painted when Proust was only 21 years old, it presents him as a refined and elegant young man, embodying the aesthetic sensibilities of the Belle Époque.

In the portrait, Proust is dressed in a dark suit with a crisp white shirt and a black bow tie.

His slender frame and delicate features are accentuated by the soft, almost ethereal lighting.

His expression is introspective and slightly melancholic, with dark eyes gazing toward the viewer, hinting at the deep intellectual and emotional world that would later define his literary work.

American artist Lilla Cabot Perry died #OTD in 1933.

She worked in the American Impressionist style, rendering portraits and landscapes in the free form manner of her mentor, Claude Monet. Although it was not until the age of thirty-six that Perry received formal training, her work with artists of the Impressionist, Realist, Symbolist, and German Social Realist movements greatly affected the style of her oeuvre.

"My Morning Coffee" ... my latest ... As the years roll by, I am finding that more and more of the things in life I loved and took for granted when I was young are fading away or becoming forbidden entirely. It's the way of things, if you're lucky enough to get some years on you. One of the things I've held onto with both hands is my morning coffee. 😁

"My Morning Coffee" ... my latest ... As the years roll by, I am finding that more and more of the things in life I loved and took for granted when I was young are fading away or becoming forbidden entirely. It's the way of things, if you're lucky enough to get some years on you. But that doesn't make giving up chocolate cake or skiing or a sip of port wine or paragliding (well ... paragliding ... maybe not paragliding?) easy. One of the things I've held onto with both hands ... tight ... is my morning coffee. 😁

I painted this cup of java and vase of flowers completely from my imagination in #EscapeMotions #Rebelle (and a trip or two to #CorelPainter and Photoshop), using Rebelle's pastel brushes and the #Wacom tablet. It started out as a doodle ... I seem to either doodle trees or vases of flowers ... and the #coffee cup showed up seemingly by itself. I was tempted to bring in more detail but decided to keep it loose and impressionistic-y ... that's pretty much how the world looks to me first thing in the morning anyway.
