@ Montmartre.
When we asked for a photo, he thought we wanted to take a photo of his paintings, and he was kind enough to say YES, but we took a photo of him! He was little surprised but he gave us a nice smile. :)
We took a break from the touristy aspects of Venice by taking to the islands just to the north. Highly colorful (particularly Burano!), it was a lovely day to wander!
Heading back to the Vaporetto to grab a ride back into Venice, we ventured on some less-traveled alleys. We came across this painter's ladder that as trivial as it was, made quite a statement.
Painterly Eiffel Tower. My third go-round with making painterly photos with the Wacom tablet in Photoshop. This one took me about three hours to complete. This is a large file that you can view monitor size to see brush strokes. I’ve started to upload more larger files now that I’m creating new works. I am proud of this one!
This year the town 's-Hertogenbosch celebrated the 500th anniversary of the (famous) painter Jeroen Bosch. His work is known for its fantastic imagery, detailed landscapes, and illustrations of religious concepts and narratives. It was a big hype this year, so the local Fantastival sported quite a few characters that could have escaped from one of his paintings.
What first catches your eye in this dim painter's studio is a brightly lit pile of classical sculptures. The light falls upon a sculpture of a muscular discus thrower immediately behind it. These are plaster casts of antique sculptures. The youth in yellow on the left is busy drawing one of the sculptures. The boy to the left of the standing sculpture is drawing from a bust on the table in front of him. Drawing from examples was a fixed part of a painter's training in the seventeenth century.

This is at my mother in law's. I just love the choice patterns she picked out for this cozy area. I added to this photo using a rose stamp that I made and textured the photo.
Willem Wissing a Dutch painter! Willem Wissing, also known as William Wissing (1656, Amsterdam or The Hague - 10 Sep 1687 Burghley House), was a Dutch portrait artist. He studied at The Hague under Willem Doudijns (1630-97) and Arnoldus van Ravestyn (1615-90). In 1676, he moved to England, where he studied with and assisted Peter Lely. After Lely's death in 1680, Wissing emerged as his most important pupil. Godfrey Kneller was the only contemporary portrait artist in England to rival Wissing. Wissing’s royal sitters include Charles II of England, Queen Catharine of Braganza, Prince George of Denmark and James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth.
In 1685, James II of England sent Wissing to the Netherlands to paint portraits of his Dutch son-in-law and daughter, the future William III of England and the future Mary II of England. The portraits are on display in the Great Hall of the Wren building at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. Wissing died in 1687 and was buried in St Martin's Church, Stamford, Lincolnshire.
Anne was born at St. James's Palace, London, the second daughter of James, Duke of York (afterwards James II), and his first wife, Lady Anne Hyde. Her paternal uncle was King Charles II and her older sister was the future Mary II. Anne and Mary were the only children of the Duke and Duchess of York to survive into adulthood. As a child, Anne suffered from an eye infection; for medical treatment, she was sent to France. She lived with her grandmother, Henrietta Maria of France who resided in Paris at the ChĂ¢teau de Colombes which Henrietta Maria had bought in 1650; Anne later lived with her aunt, Henriette Anne, Duchess of OrlĂ©ans, following her grandmother's death in 1669. She grew up with her cousin's Marie Louise d'OrlĂ©ans and Anne Marie d'OrlĂ©ans, future maternal grand mother of Louis XV. Anne returned to England in 1670, at the death of her aunt Henriette Anne. In about 1673, Anne made the acquaintance of Sarah Jennings, who became her close friend and one of her most influential advisors. Jennings later married John Churchill (the future Duke of Marlborough), who was to become Anne's most important general. On 28 July 1683, Anne married the Protestant Prince George of Denmark-Norway, brother of King Christian V of Denmark-Norway (and her second cousin once removed through Frederick II), an unpopular union but one of great domestic happiness. Sarah Churchill became Anne's Lady of the Bedchamber, and, by Anne's desire to mark their mutual intimacy and affection, all deference due to her rank was abandoned and the two ladies called each other Mrs. Morley and Mrs. Freeman.
Princess Anne's brother-in-law and sister, William and Mary, subsequently invaded England to dethrone the unpopular James II in the Glorious Revolution. Anne's husband, Prince George of Denmark, died in October 1708. Anne was devastated by the loss of her husband, and the event proved a turning point in her relationship with her old friend, Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough. The Duchess arrived at Windsor shortly after he died, and forced the Queen to leave the castle and move to St. James's Palace against her will. Anne pleaded to be left alone, and resented the Duchess for insisting that the grieving Queen be attended at all times. Anne died of suppressed gout, ending in erysipelas, at approximately 7 o'clock on 1 August 1714. Her body was so swollen and large that it had to be buried in Westminster Abbey in a vast almost-square coffin.
The reign of Anne was marked by an increase in the influence of ministers and a decrease in the influence of the Crown. In 1708, Anne became the last British Sovereign to withhold the Royal Assent from a bill (in this case, a Scots militia bill). Her name also remains associated with the world's first substantial copyright law, known as the Statute of Anne (1709), which granted exclusive rights to authors rather than printers. Although Anne and her reign have no direct bearing on the style personally, at the time Queen Anne architecture style became popular in the late 1800s, her name connoted a sense of Old World elegance and extravagant, ornate details.
Using a combination of Topaz Labs Impression, hand sketching and masking - this flower has a rather painterly look. I love the colours and marks.
