Pre Raphaelite paintings

/ Aradia / 3 Comments

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.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, here’s two.

Both reflective of my thoughts and feelings last night, this morning and now..

Music is great for the soul, art is great for the mind.. both are good to express what we cannot put into words easily, or if we can’t find the words.
