The writings of a savage

Three female sparrows with soft, fluffy plumage sit together on a slender branch and have a chat. The two birds on the left are looking to the right, the house sparrow on the far right is looking to the left towards the other two. The delicate feathers of the small songbirds are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm shades of brown, purple, earth and chocolate. The birds appear calm, creating a peaceful composition.
I originally painted the three sparrows as individual paintings, which can also be found in my collection of bird paintings (Sparrow Meeting parts one, two and three).

"What a magical place," I thought. "It's like the field of poppies in the Wizard of Oz, only it's not flowers but grass.

"Just grass. Just ordinary grass that, today, in this season, has decided to turn into something extraordinary."

How This Fairytale Painting of Doomed Lovers Became a Victorian Sensation
´
Frederic William Burton's 19th-century masterpiece "Hellelil and Hildebrand, the meeting on the turret stairs" illustrates one of the most tragic medieval love stories.

by Annikka Olsen

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/burton-the-meeting-on-the-turret-stairs-2723484

More about Burton:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_William_Burton

#art #history #painting

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

Thank you for your support!

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.

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.

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.
