In visual perception, an optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is an illusion caused by the visual system and characterized by a visual percept that arguably appears to differ from reality.
I have always been fascinated by optical illusions ever since I was a child, when I first saw the optical illusion called, cruelly, “My wife and my mother-in-law”, www.thesun.ie/tech/8917436/spot-all-women-optical-illusio... which depicts a young lady turning away from the viewer (my wife) and an old crone with a hooked nose and chin with a grimace buried into her fur tippet (my mother-in-law). It first appeared on a German postcard in 1888.
I tried my own trick of the eye optical illusion using a late Nineteenth century chromolithograph of an eye with an Art Nouveau hand mirror, placed carefully to make the reflection appear as though it is a continuation of a depiction of the eye. I do hope you like it
... some Sweet Day!
May your shade be sweet
And float upon the lakes
Where the sun will be
Made of honey
.
and now
The stars are dying in my chest
Till I see you again
Combing your hair with blood
You were born with the wings of a hawk
So Young!
And already in Anger!

I'm scanning and archiving hand-colored infrared silver prints, all at least 10 years old. There'll be no more. Kodak quit making this fabulous film, boo hiss!

I made all three on separate ribbons. Just in case she wanted to put them in 3 different places. They each have 100% dried organic lavender.

“Pierre Raddison, a Frenchman, together with Groseiller, in 1659 voyaged west of Lake Superior to Lake Winnipeg, and also covered a great deal of new territory in the vicinity of Hudson’s Bay.” [Text accompanying the illustration]
This painting was produced by Remington in 1906 during his multiyear contract with Collier's, under which he would produce a painting that would be used as a monthly full-color centerfold or frontispiece for the magazine. His contract extended to his death in late 1909 and included some of his most famous paintings.
I couldn't resist doing my own version of the classic "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster.
This is my "Keep Calm and Fake a British Accent" version. Who doesn't wish they had a British accent sometimes? It's so posh and proper.

Eight mounted cowboys and a packhorse are in full gallop ahead of a pursuing war party of Indians. Three riders shoot over their shoulders as they race for the cover of the trees ahead.
Remington painted this picture in 1889, at the age of 28 in his studio after several trips to the Southwest. He was welcomed to observe the activities of the U.S. Cavalry and its pursuit of renegade Apache. The painting launched his career when it received favorable critical acclaim at the National Academy of Design in New York the following year. The painting is now in the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. [Source: Joy of Museums Virtual Tours]
from Dancing Daisy, who wanted to see the whole picture in the center of the wall. I know I promised that the last girly-girl shot would definitely be the last, but you can blame this one on Dancing Daisy! ;-0
Chris, my wonderful MIL gave me that print. She found it in an antique store in Tampa, Florida, many years ago. The frame looks like it's from the turn of the century, (19th, not 20th.) ;-) This wall is just a hodge-podge of inexpensive prints, for the most part. Just stuff I picked up here and there, or was given to me.
Tommy sleeps on the other side of that wall, in an adjoining bedroom because we BOTH snore! Haha! So no, he doesn't have to look at all my girly "stuff".
“Indians watching a company of fur traders working their way up the Missouri River in bateaux.”
[This is the first of a series of twelve paintings, made especially for Collier’s by Frederic Remington, illustrative of the Louisiana Purchase Period.]
“This is the last picture of the present series. It shows Smith making his way across the desert from Green River to the Spanish settlement at San Diego, which he reached successfully in 1826.”
Given the huge popularity of Frederic Remington's western artwork with the public, Collier's magazine began purchasing the publishing rights to Remington's work in 1901. Several years later, Collier's signed a multi-year contract with Remington to publish his works as covers, two-page centerfolds and one-page frontispieces in Collier's magazine. Collier's published Remington's images in the magazine about once a month.
As Collier's had the publishing copyrights to Remington's work, it exploited those rights by creating special print portfolios of Remington's paintings that it sold to its magazine subscribers. The portfolios were heavily advertised in Collier's magazine.
“M. de la Vérendrye, a fur trader, traveled westward and finally penetrated with a Crow Indian war party in the winter time to within sight of the Big Horn Mountains in 1743.” [Text accompanying the illustration]

“When three or four Indians called in at the camp-fire of a lone white man they might do no worse than eat all his grub, but the preliminaries of getting acquainted were apt to make the host nervous, especially when he reflected that his horses were staked at some distance and that the Indians looked tired.”
Frederic Remington (1861-1909) was the premier chronicler of the late nineteenth century American West. He received a glimpse of the life and land that would influence and inspire the rest of his life during a short journey west in 1881. By 1883, he had bought a sheep ranch in Kansas which served as a home base for more trips throughout the Southwest where he sketched horses, cavalrymen, cowboys and Indians. In 1895, Remington produced his first bronze sculpture, “The Bronco Buster,” which now resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
When in 1909 Remington died suddenly of appendicitis, he left a legacy of more than 2,750 paintings and drawings and 25 sculptures. He had written 8 books and numerous articles about the American West and served in the Spanish American War as a war correspondent. He was the most important artist ever to record the vanishing Western frontier. [Source: www.paintingmania.com/snow-trail-181_31645.html]

I made this photograph of my (then) wife to be Gene, and her dog Aragorn, several months after I met her, at the Lejuste family cottage, which is also where I first met her on Memorial Day weekend 1974. That cottage, and even Memorial Day, are two of the most important places and dates reverberating through my existence here on the planet.

"Frederic Sackrider Remington was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the American Old West. His works are known for depicting the Western United States in the last quarter of the 19th century and featuring such images as cowboys, American Indians, and the US Cavalry." -- Wikipedia
