FRUSTRATED ARTIST

Happy New Year everyone,  hope your heads are not pounding too much. Mine is just fine only had 3 beers.  I am showing you a couple more of my Creations. When I drew and painted this Rabbit I had Watership Down in my head, the amazing movie that touched my heart completely. This cute little fellow came to mind as well, I think rabbits are the cutest little fury babies and I love thir adorable eyes When I was a child I had several toys  Dolls, Teddies, and other stuff. But at 63 I still have Teddies They are almost alive to me, each one has its own cutness and personality that I can not ignore. I still have my original Teddie he is a Panda and he use to play music the winder was on the back but he doesn't play any more.  Cats are amazing creatures and they are seen everywhere and if you have never owned one you are sadly missing out. Snail also have my heart they are amaing little creatures the way they carry there house on their back. ...

Today we are looking at Elizabeth Eaton Burton (1869–1937) was an American artist and designer whose work typified the Arts and Crafts style in southern California . Elizabeth was born in Paris, France, in 1869, to Charles Frederick Eaton and Helen Justice Mitchell. Her father was an artist and designer who worked in such media as metal, glass, and leather. He taught her drawing and the rudiments of other media, which turned out to be almost the only art training she ever received. She attended boarding school in England and Germany in 1885–86. [2] However, both Elizabeth and her mother suffered from health issues, so the family moved first to Nice and then, when Elizabeth was around 17, Burton began her career by exhibiting work at art shows and craft fairs in southern California. As her work developed, the range of media she worked in expanded until it embraced metalwork, stained glass, bookbinding, and tooled leather, as well as print media (woodcuts) and water colour. Many of...

Suor Plautilla Nelli (1523-1588) was born into a noble Florentine family. She entered the convent of Santa Caterina di Siena in Florence (which taught painting and sculpting of terracotta figures) in 1538, at the age of 14, and eventually became its prioress, several times.   The convent, founded by Camilla Bartolini Rucellai in 1496, was ‘run’ by the friars of San Marco, the most famous friar being Savonarola. The convent (now destroyed), located in Piazza San Marco, was supposedly annexed into the Galleria dell’Accademia in 1853 and was briefly part of the Accademia delle Belle Arti. In her time she was widely praised and received many important commissions, but today, only four of her paintings have been authenticated.  The Lamentation with Saints  in the Refectory of San Marco Museum is her most famous public work, which expresses a rare raw emotional grief of Christ’s death, depicted through the red eyes and visible tears of the figures. Her  Last Supper...
