Pre Raphaelite paintings
I love art. I love music. I love how they can mean so many different things to people.
It's all a matter of perspective. Just like poetry.Not feeling too creative today.. although I do always have something "in the works" in the quiet background of my local files
So, today I share with you - a Photo blog..
Some awesome works of art. Some are representative of my current mood..
I think what I love most about the pre raphaelite paintings, is their use of redheads
Being one myself, I just find it fascinating how much we were used as models for so many paintings
If I ever have the money, I'd love to have a good artist do a painting of me done in such a way that it looks like it was done in the late 1800's to early 1900's.~*~*~*~*~*~

you are a red head? cool!
what is nice about early painters, is that they painted women as they were. they had curves and some pudginess about them. not the flat, shapeless models we have today that seem to be in favor.
@buddy71 - Yes, I sure am, 100% real american redhead
Moody as hell too lol Somewhere on here I have a picture of me in a posting, but it's under protected status, so it's not open to the "general public" Thats what I like best about the paintings too - the real look the women had, the true, raw beauty, and the softness of the expressions.
@AradiaRose - yes the true raw beauty.
i understand about the photo.
