Eye candy for today: Johannes Verspronk portrait

Andries Stilte as a Standard Bearer, Johannes Cornelisz Verspronck, oil on canvas, 41 x 31 in. (104 x 79 cm), in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, DC, which has both a zoomable and downloadable version of the image.

Ceramic prints by Sheng Lam

Something a bit different, I opened up a print shop!

https://www.blueduckleaf.com/

Was a fun personal project going doing more marketing and setting things up. Thanks to https://www.artstation.com/aureliahilary for helping out with everything!

I will make an announcement in the next few weeks when it's ready.

Thanks for checking it out!

Boggess works in a manner associated with painting knives; and though he does use large painting knives at times, he works at such a scale that cement trowels of varying sizes are among...

Eye Candy for Today: Jasper Cropsey’s Autumn – On the Hudson River

Autumn – On the Hudson River, Jasper Francis Cropsey, oil on canvas, 60 x 108 in. (152 x 275 cm), in the collection of the National Gallery of Aart, DC, which has both a zoomable image and a downloadable high res file available.

Cropsey was a 19th century American architecht and first generation Hudson River painter known for his colorful and dramatic views of mountains and valleys, particularly when arrayed in bright fall foliage.

This painting is considered his landmark work, painted in the studio from memory, notes and sketches. It’s common to talk of landscape paintings as haveing a morefgound, middleground...
