Silver Swan: John Duncan, "The Riders of the Sidhe"
http://thesilverswan.blogspot.com/2014/12/john-duncan-riders-of-sidhe.html
Thursday, December 4, 2014. John Duncan, "The Riders of the Sidhe". John Duncan, "The Riders of the Sidhe", 1911. I had never seen this painting before, or heard of John Duncan. What an exciting new discovery! He sounds like quite an odd character too; he said he heard "faerie music" when he painted, and married a woman whom he thought had discovered the Holy Grail in a well in Glastonbury.

Silver Swan: April 2015
http://thesilverswan.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Every year I wait for my favorite part of summer, the time when the fireflies finally come out. They're not here yet, and won't be here until sometime in June, but I'm waiting, and thinking about how I might capture them. such as how this artist, Tsuneaki Hiramatsu, has. His images are time lapse photographs of fireflies. Doesn't it make you think of faery tales? Kinuko Craft, Wildwood Dancing. Kinuko Craft, The Twelve Dancing Princesses. The twelve dancing princesses. I think wh...

Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Burrowing Owl by Wagner Machado Carlos Lemes, source Wikimedia Commons. I saw this gorgeous photo of a Burrowing Owl and couldn't help posting it here. It has one foot tucked away under its feathers so completely, you'd almost think it only has one leg! Saturday, February 8, 2014. Winter Weather At Last: A Fairytale World. All photos by me.

Silver Swan: October 2014
http://thesilverswan.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 26, 2014. All photographs by me, subject: grasshopper in silverpoint. I recently discovered silver point drawing, a very old method of drawing in which you use a wire of pure silver to draw on specially prepared paper. Old masters such as Leonardo da Vinci used it during the Renaissance, some of them drawing with pure gold, brass, and copper too. Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, May 5, 2014. Time to Make Beautiful Things. Wish" by Christian Schloe, https:/ www.facebook.com/ChristianSchloeDigitalArt. I've been too busy being busy lately. Mostly my life has consisted of driving to work, working, driving home, working in the garden, and cooking. All things that need to be done. But there is something else that has not been done for a long time, too long in fact, and must be done tonight. And that something is to make a Beautiful Thing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Silver Swan: December 2014
http://thesilverswan.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 25, 2014. Winter is such a wonderful season, despite what the majority of the world thinks! For me as an artist, snow gives a wonderful relief to the business of the outdoors, rather like negative space in a composition allows one to focus in on the small details of a work of art. I think Alphonse Mucha knew what I'm talking about. Thursday, December 4, 2014. John Duncan, "The Riders of the Sidhe". John Duncan, "The Riders of the Sidhe", 1911. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
