As much as I might wish I could, unfortunately I can’t spend all day every day inside galleries and museums. But since my laptop sits nearby all day long, I can blog whenever I want. So in honor of my redesign, there’s going to be more art news and reblogging of beautiful things. Sometimes I’ll describe, sometimes just post. But if you see anything YOU think is worth describing, email me and I’ll add whatever you might have to say:) I’ll try to have a theme each day too to give me some direction, and today it’s flow…
Enjoy!

The saint’s body swoons, as if he’s just kelt over from the intensity of all of it. A small angel, with the face of a boy but a strength that must be many times what’s expected, holds all of the falling saints weight, his wings touched with red and his young cheeks flushed. In comparison, the saint looks nearly dead, his face the same gray color as his robe; his three-dimensional halo floating softly above his tilted head.

Her face is etched out in flowing lines that all follow the same path. Her hair is dark and given curls and volume in a lighter shade beneath this river of lines. Her eyes squint and look out, and she’s positioned in a three-quarter pose but her body’s only minimally sketched, bringing all the emphasis on this mostly empty canvas to the lined shadows cast by her face.
