Pentagram / star on my chart ?
I can add photos to my profile page but can't figure out how to do it on the thread. Do you need to upload from an image host ?

Yeah I guess common sense isn't all that common after all.
Me: We'll talk later when I'm less angry
Sis: I said I'm sorry alright
Me: *walks off*
Sis: ass
HA! The irony. Apparently even when we do something wrong we just want some validation before we admit to doing something wrong.

i don??t have a favourite era per se - but i do enjoy realistic paintings - mannerism.
you must look back to the times these people lived in - no art supply shops as we know these days, no paint brush, no photoshop etc - they mixed their own colours, made their own canvas, developed their own style s and techniques (of course learning and based on generations prior). whenever i enter a museum i am struck in awe. true masters.
You and I have the same tastes.
Say for 9 days, promise publication
Oh glorious apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master into
the hands of His enemies has caused thee to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases--of things despaired of. Pray for me who am so miserable; make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded thee of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (mention your request), and that I may bless God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee. Amen

What a lot of people in America (perhaps the rest of the world) don't know is that during 16-19th centuries,
art wasn't just a pretty picture - they either had a story or a moral to tell.
In those days, people were not as commonly literate as they are today. However, what they could read, were pictures.
Symbolism in objects were the words.

thanks SL,
yes, the rubenesque figur. regarded as highly erotic. as it showed off one??s wealth too. even the antique gods and goddesses were depicted like that. but note, even whilst the figures were quite massive the women still usually had smaller breasts.
unlike today, tanned skin and and size zero were a sure sign of hard labour and poverty.
Yes very erotic i feel. Interesting about the proportion of the bodies! We seemed to have devolved to a trend of skinny legs and butts and huge (plastic) breasts...how odd

Devolution.
Planets progress.
It's always interesting to see how people draw or construct the eye. Then observing the clean freaks to the dirty smudgers (the ones who end up wearing a moustache).

WC, if you??re into understanding art and it??s symbolism and their epoches etc - this is a book i would highly recommend:
http://www.amazon.de/Masterpieces-European-Painting-Christiane-Stukenbrock/dp/3848002159/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404810466&sr=8-1&keywords=1000+masterpieces+of+european+painting
it??s a treatsie of the most influential masters and paintings from 1300 - 1835.
I'll check the book, thanks. I did also look up Rubens but its not the work I've seen. I'll have to go back to the library to see whose work I saw in the book I borrowed last time. Its similar to Rubens but has a cleaner & more distinct look. It was beautiful & sexy.
