Hung the 1815 Sarah Bradford sampler alongside the late C19 oil (signed “Salvar,” with marks of the removal of an academy card) that has called to me from the forest depths since I found it in a Victoria BC junk shop when I was 24. I’m still working on the details, but Sarah Bradford’s relative, probably a niece, arrived in BC c 1900 with husband and daughter. Sarah (born Eastbourne, Sussex) must have seen the Brighton Pavilion; I see its influence on this church image. #Romanticism #womensart

two dark oak frames, both square, both about 15”, hang on an ivory plaster wall. On the left, hung higher, is a heavy dark frame with a brass interior border enclosing an impressionist oil painting in dark greens. It depicts a forest pool—ingeniously suggested by a fold in the canvas and its gesso surface—surrounded by leafy trees, fallen and standing. Diaphanous irises grow from the pool. The light source is to the left and closer to the top of the painting, allowing light to slant across the pool. On the right, hung lower, a frame lighter in form and colour, enclosing a crossstitched sampler on unbleached linen in faded teal, terra cotta, ivory and green, signed Sarah Bradford 1815 Age 10 years, depicting a large vaguely orientalist church at centre, two Georgian manor houses in the foreground, the whole surmounted by angels and butterflies. To the right of the landscape is a built-in stereo speaker of similar length, grey. Below the landscape is a white doorbell box, a beige light switch panel, and a small touch screen burglar alarm control.

Artists often think that people want to see them fail, but the opposite is true: https://gwennseemel.com/blog/2023/0601-bill-bradbury/

I spent literally 2 mins in Limerick on the road between Galway down to Cork via bus. I thought I'd have time in Limerick, by train, but that didn't work out (no train). I was crushed.

This is an old piece from 2020, titled “Forgotten.” I had it pinned on the wall in my studio because I didn’t want to file it away. Put it back on easel, lightened it and added highlights, and now it’s framed. Will take it to next month’s show.

Pale yellow letters

—“To Joan Eardley” by Edwin Morgan
The artist Joan Eardley (1921–1963) was born #OTD, 18 May. Edwin Morgan owned her painting “Sweet Shop, Rotten Row, 1960–1961”, and donated it on his death to the Hunterian Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow.

"To Joan Eardley"
by Edwin Morgan

Pale yellow letters
humbly straggling across
the once brilliant red
of a broken shop-face
CONFECTIO
and a blur of children
at their games, passing,
gazing as they pass
at the blur of sweets
in the dingy, cosy
Rottenrow window –
an Eardley on my wall.
Such rags and streaks
that master us! –
that fix what the pick
and bulldozer have crumbled
to a dingier dust,
the living blur
fiercely guarding
energy that has vanished,
cries filling still
the unechoing close!
I wandered by the rubble
and the houses left standing
kept a chill, dying life
in their islands of stone.
No window opened
as the coal cart rolled
and the coalman’s call
fell coldly to the ground.
But the shrill children
jump on my wall.
A painting by Joan Eardley. Oil paint is applied thickly, in blotches of colour. A mustard-yellow sign bearing the letters CONFECTIO sits above a blurred shop front, showing a green window on the left and a red door on the right. Three almost abstract figures of children – two girls and a boy, probably – are dashing past the shop from left to right in a swirl of pinks, browns, and blues. The leftmost child has long black hair streaming out behind her head, adding to the sense of swift movement.

While its not new to make the case that #female #artists are often ignored or subject to a different tenor of criticism than their male counterparts... its definitely an argument that is worth repeating, if only because so little really seems to have changed!

The #artworld remains a bastion of male privilege, whatever its marginal claims to 'wokedom'

⚠️ Nude version [CW no exposed genitals, boobs visible, suggestive/flirt]

First time drawing a nude/suggestive art. I've been wanting to do it for years, specially with Zara. Finally done. Now that I took the first step, maybe I can do more in the future.
Would you be interested ?

#NudeArt #OriginalCharacter #WomensArt #Nudity

digital fullbody colored sketch of my OC Zara. She's sitting, leaning back on her left hand, legs crossed and right arm lifted with a v sign close to her head. She has tanned skin and straight medium length hair tied in a pony tail. Her nails are painted the same blue as her hair. Her pubic hair is blue as well. Her eyes are light blue and there's a tiny white heart in each pupil. She has multiple scars on her skin, most really light, and two more proeminant on her right knee and belly. the background is plain grey and there a speech bubble saying "hey ♥" in dark blue.

Sometimes boys feed babies.

Among mammals, the female tends to be more involved in childcare since the young gestate inside the her body where the male cannot access them. That said, not all male mammals fail to parent actively. Male Dayak fruit bats can produce milk to feed their young from their nipples.

Pastel on Gessobord, 10 x 8 in

First time trying Ampersand Gessobord. First off, it doesn't have enough texture for pastel (and they don't claim to do). So I mixed water mixable oil and gesso for the underpainting. The texture, the "feel" is very different from paper. Definitely an interesting experiment!
