Self-portraiture is synonymous to experimenting and getting to know one's self, it's a classic tradition of art history, but it never fails to be beautiful. And such is Rimel Neffati, who finds amusement within herself, through photography, red lipstick, masks, crowns, and flowers.
Cristina Burns is a photographer and a mixed media artist. Her work is characterised by juxtaposition, where opposing elements such as candies, toys, and flowers are fused to anatomical parts and insects, often blurring the extremely thin lines between fantasy and reality, purity and sin,
This morning while waking up I was visually pleasured by an image on Instagram of Doan Ly. It's my morning ritual, waking up with Instagram where beauty lives before I move to the real world and get confronted with the news. Her recent work on Instagram is so strong, the compositions, the

Hello everyone, I hope you are all enjoying some lovely summer days. It has been hot and sunny here lately so I have been spending most of my time outdoors . It is nice to get out into the garden early in the morning or in the evenings but it is too hot to work in the afternoons so we did get to the beach a couple of afternoons. I have a few garden tours next week so I will probably miss a few days of blogging again next week but someday soon I will try to get more creative! Today I am sharing a few photos of roses in the garden along with a few other things. the rose above is Graham Thomas again. The Fairy rose -one of my favorites. The Generous Gardener- aDavid Austen rose. Prairie Princess- a nice climbing rose hardy and disesase resistant. Heritage rose- another one of my favorites(David Austen). another Graham Thomas. A minature rose from the grocery store a few years ago-no name on it. Linda Campbell rose with hardy geranium This rose is new last year And I need to look up the name of it but I really like it with the Campanula Pitchard's Variety. There is a closeup of this one above Linda Campbell. One of my favorite places to eat- shady and lots of lovely fragrance from roses etc. nearby. Last weeks bouquet. I love delphenium too. Ivory monkshood. The Annebelle Hydgrangea are just starting to bloom. I love how they come out green before turning to white and bloom a long time. I hope you all have a lovely summer Sunday! Take care, Carolyn

When all the Flowers Speak Your Name by Jack Barnosky
Anger, jealousy, passion, and love are common emotions to all human beings, and this is perhaps why Zhang Yimou’s films appeal to audiences over the world
Preserving and drying flowers is a craft that has been honed over the ages. Hang drying and air drying are more time-honored, traditional methods of this craft. However, technology has led to the use of microwaves, ovens, and chemicals such as silica gel in the drying process.

Like a lot of art on this blog, Meghan Howland’s beautiful portraits have a very dreamlike atmosphere. Her characters seem to be represented in a more complex context however, balancing somewhere on a line between danger and security. I love how she includes natural elements in her paintings, such as flowers and birds.. It raises […]

"Still Life with Flowers and Fruit," by Jan van Huysum (1700-1749) DIMENSIONS • 9" x 12" (Image: 7.5" x 9.88") • 12" x 16" (Image: 10" x 13.13") • 16" x 20" (Image: 12.94" x 17") • 20" x 24" (Image: 15.25" x 20") • 24" x 30" (Image: 19" x 25") Archival Inkjet on Fine Art Paper Smooth Surface - Matte Finish - Inset Borders ABOUT THE ARTWORK ----------------------------- This virtuoso still life by Jan van Huysum offers up a wealth of small details to explore. Close inspection reveals a myriad of insects, creeping among the vegetation; tiny droplets of water, bending the light; rich, organic textures rendered with consummate precision. Like many Dutch still life artists, his works combine flowers from different seasons, yet his commitment to realism was such that he once delayed an entire painting for the sake of a single yellow rose, which was not to bloom until the following spring. ART-CENTRIC DESIGN ----------------------------- Vintage art is not standardized. The original works are usually too long, or too short, to neatly fill a store-bought frame. Most shops arbitrarily crop the artwork to match, leading to claustrophobic prints with missing or partial elements. These modifications — sometimes trivial, sometimes ludicrous — are not always shown in the product photos. We believe that the purpose of art is not to fill a frame; it is the purpose of a frame to showcase the art. Our prints have inset borders that make up any differences in proportion between the artwork and a standard frame, so that you can experience the art as the artist intended. They look sharp in beveled mats, may be float mounted, or inserted directly into standard frames; the borders providing a mat-like accent around the image. There are many styles from which to choose. Framing is a fun, creative process that enhances the artwork and livens your space for years to come. Should you like any advice, feel free to reach out. CUSTOMIZATION AND IMAGE REQUESTS ----------------------------- We are happy to customize our prints to fit your frame. Borderless prints may require the artwork to be cropped to fit a new aspect ratio. In such cases, we will provide a mockup to ensure that the final product meets with your approval. If you’re looking for an artwork that is not in our catalog, feel free to ask if we can provide it. We will print any public domain or openly licensed image that is available in high resolution. MUSEUM QUALITY ----------------------------- Giclée process prints are the gold standard in fine art reproduction. We use a matte finish, cotton fiber paper to maximize detail while eliminating glare. Our prints display a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Produced using only archival materials, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them. HANDMADE DECLARATION ----------------------------- To assure artistic quality, all of our production and design is strictly in-house. Every print has been proofed, calibrated and inspected for defects. We do not drop ship, resell or make use of third-party production partners. SHIPPING AND PACKAGING ----------------------------- All orders ship within one business day via USPS First Class, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. Sizes 9” x 12” and 12” x 16” ship in a flat configuration, unless combined with larger prints, which require tubes. We will replace any lost or damaged items at no expense to you. HAPPINESS GUARANTEE ----------------------------- We will promptly address any issues that may arise with your order. If you are unhappy with your print for any reason, you are welcome to return it for a full refund.
