When it comes to horror, we often refer to a genre of literature or film, but not so often to paintings. However, a big part of art history is actually built on morbid art and rather disturbing and scary paintings, many of which belong to the period of 'rebirth.' The Renaissance saw not only the making of some of the most famous paintings in art history but also numerous creepy paintings depicting the inherent darkness of the human condition.
"But what is it then that sits in my heart, that breathes so quietly, and without lungs-- that is here, here in this world, and yet not here?" --Mary Oliver, "The Leaf and the Cloud" (excerpt)

Hey there, lovely readers! Today, we're diving into the enchanting world of the Goddess Aphrodite (also known as the Goddess Venus), the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greek mythology. If you've ever been
March 31 marks the anniversary of Korney Chukovsky’s birth, and despite passing away almost half a century ago, the gifted writer’s words touch the hearts of adults and children alike.
Welcome Back, Monday: sweater: ancient thrifted find; dress: anthopologie; belt: made by me; tights: Target: shoes: Urban Outfitters flats made into Mary Janes with leopard print fabric by me...they didn't want to stay on my feets otherwise. Well, hello! Long time, no weekly outfit post. I dunno if you noticed but I kinda went on a weekly-outfit-post hiatus during my Spring Break. Mostly cuz I didn't really think you'd be interested in the jammies-and-house-slippers-til-well-past-noon look. And if you were, well, you could simply drop by the local Walmarts (oh, too harsh?). Can you believe these shoes? I went in search of flats and found these bad boys on the Urban Outfitters website. I was asked several time is they were some of my DIY shoes! But this week, we returned. And I'm so glad because I missed those kids so much. Even if this happened... Kid: Mrs. Stephens, what is that smell? Me: I had beans for lunch. Chorus of Kids: Eeeewwww. (five minutes later) Kid: Mrs. Stephens, can I have some more green paint? Me: Sure. (half empty bottle of paint makes farty noise). Kid Across the Room: (whispering) Ew, did you hear that? Must have been those beans. I feel sorry for the kids at that table. I get no respect, I tell ya. Tinga Tinga painting from Tanzania. Don't you love this? Tinga Tinga is the name of artwork made in something called the Tinga Tinga Cooperative in Tanzania. The co-op was created by the family of a man named Edward Tingatinga who painted in this style back in the 1960's. Artists in the co-op today are strongly influenced by his style. In other less gassy news, I really enjoyed matching my outfits with masterpieces as I did in this post, so I thought I'd give it another go. It's been a lot of fun as I would have never stumbled upon the artwork above otherwise. I do hope you enjoy... And might I make a polite recommendation.... The next time you decide to enjoy some lovely beans for lunch, have it with a side of Bean-o. Just sayin. Turquoise Tuesday: sweater: ebay; dress: vintage, thrifted; belt: made by me; sandals: Sseko sandals with straps made my me Ordering Spring, Janet Fish, 1996 Flamenco Wednesday: sweater and fishnets: Target; dress: vintage, found in San Francisco; shoes: Indigo by Clarks; belt and flower clip: H&M Erhem, don't ask. I adore this painting...by the contemporary artist Daniel R. Gerhartz. Chlorine Blue Thursday: dress: found for a couple of bucks at an antique store, eep! belt and flower: H&M; shoes: Indigo by Clarks David Hockney, John St. Clair Swimming (from Twenty Photographic Pictures), 1972 Greetings, Friday! 'Bout time: dress and sweater: vintage, thrifted; belt: gift from a sweet friend; shoes: Frye, found at the discounted shoe shop Martie and Liz Just realized this is another Daniel Gerhartz painting.

A rolled canvas print is normally stretched on wood stretcher bars, whereas archival paper prints are not. Additionally, a stretched canvas can be framed, but it doesn't need to be. Thus, our rolled canvas prints come in their advertized size + mirrored edges by default for easy stretching. Prefer a cut to size rolled canvas print instead, because you want to frame it in a traditional fine art frame behind glass? Then just type ''cut to size'' in our personalization box (listing top right ''add your personalization''). Note that our rolled canvas prints do not come with stretcher bars or frames. Either take it to your local framer, or stretch/frame it yourself. Other sizes than listed in our drop-down menu available upon request! Have something in mind that you don't see in our shop?

"The face and soul of man, the drama of life, the impressions of nature, its life and meaning, the spirit of history—these are our themes," wrote Repin, who was celebrated as a master even during his own lifetime. His works reflect Russian art’s main ideological and formal aspirations in the second half of the 19th century.
