Oil on Mountboard! 16 x 20 inches Now here really is a blast from the past. I was digging out my watercolour paper today, having been hand-painting frames for a week, and discovered this oil painting of mine, circa 1968, 45 years ago, phew! Having painted it on mountboard, it's deteriorated over the years as can be seen with the mildew on the left-hand side . I think I've got better over the years......hopefully! This should give hope to any of you folks who despair at your efforts. Next one WILL be a new one, a watercolour if all goes to plan....
Annecy è una città fiabesca protetta dalle montagne circostanti. Chiamata La perla delle Alpi e Venezia francese, è un luogo incantato nel quale perdersi e innamorarsi.
The Stage Perspective books look almost as if we are looking at a story acted out on a stage. Cinematic picture books are influenced by film, and make use of various camera angles: high angle, low angle, worm's eye view, establishing shot and so on.
Ara que els paisatges del nostre voltant estan tots blancs per la neu, ara que el paisatge sembla tot el mateix, ara justament és el moment de prear els diferents colors i formes que al llarg de les estacions tenen els paisatges -pensem que, de vegades, els ocells creuant el cel canvien tot un paisatge o que el mateix es transforma amb la llum de l'alba o del ocàs, etc.-. Mireu, per exemple, els paisatges que pinta Rob van Hoek. Una mirada diferent al món de la paisatgística. Són encisadors. Com bé ens diu el propi Rob van Hoek: Durant anys he estat inspirat en el paisatge. I em refereixo principalment al paisatge que s'ha introduït en la cultura. Amb aspecte salvatge i aspre, per molt bell que sigui, no puc fer tant en el meu treball. Patrons, línies, ritmes, plànols, però també guaret, verd, madurs, camps de sembra, una filera d'arbres al llarg de la carretera o un arbre solitari o un camp; el paisatge de la cultura és la meva principal font d'inspiració.I per descomptat l'horitzó i l'espectacle que determina l'espai i l'atmosfera en gran mesura.
A Corner of the Welland A little oil from a recent trip to my river. Grey day, but the snow looks so white when it's overcast like this. Bank Drift This one was all about that amazingly sculpted snow drift on the opposite bank. There were so many such drifts on the roadsides around here, but I've never seen snow drifts like this on a riverbank - just beautiful! Snow by the Welland Here's the last of my subdued snow paintings, well, not subdued paintings - they were all completed with slashing gusto, obviously...🙄🤔 The lighting was subdued, making the snow appear very white. I do love the subtle colours of Winter, without the flashy greens of summer, and in this one there were maroons, browns, greens, ochres and blues, as well as the obvious white.
Youth Dew by Estee Lauder was launched in 1953. When you think of Youth Dew, you probably think of the Bath Oil that has been popular since the 1950s. But there were a whole range of ancillary products that followed. The Beginning: According to Estee Lauder, “I never knew I was a “nose”. It took until 1953 to find out what being a nose really meant. All I knew was that I couldn't stand seeing all those bottles of perfume gathering dust, evaporating, being saved for occasions, and resting unused on the elegant dressers of my friends. I knew what the trouble was. Perfume was the perfume gift. That was killing it. Only a rare woman would walk into a department store and buy perfume for herself. Traditionally, women in America were passive about smelling wonderful. It was proper to wait for your loved one to present you with a bottle of something he liked, or something that he thought you might like. How could I get the American woman to buy her own perfume? I would not call it perfume. I would call it “Youth Dew”. A bath oil that doubled as a skin perfume. That would be acceptable to buy, because it was feminine, all-American, very girl-next-door to take baths, wasn't it?" Success was born: The bath oil that doubled as a perfume took the cosmetics industry by storm. The company made over $50,000 that year just on Youth Dew itself. By 1984, that figure had jumped to over $150 million a year. “Youth Dew is the largest selling fragrance in the world,” Evelyn Lauder said in 1985. “It has sold more than Chanel No. 5. More than Arpege." Fragrance Composition: So what does it smell like? It is classified as an ambery spicy oriental fragrance for women. This full bodied oriental has a rosy undertone with notes of spices, woods and fruits. Top note of bergamot, chamomile and geranium with jasmine, rose, lily of the valley and ylang ylang. Background contains sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli. Top notes: spicy notes, chamomile, geranium, bergamot, peach, aldehyde, orange Middle notes: lily of the valley, ylang ylang, cloves, cassie, ylang ylang, cinnamon, rose, orchid, jasmine Base notes: spices, sandalwood, amber, tolu, benzoin, cloves, vanilla, patchouli, oakmoss, frankincense, musk, vetiver, civet Products & Bottles: “I had another idea. I wouldn't seal the cap of the Youth Dew bottle as the French perfumers did. Why should I make my creation inaccessible? If the bottle were unsealed, a browsing customer could unscrew the cap( as every customer secretly wishes to do), take a whiff, and by the time that occurred, she would have the essence on her hands. Now the customer might well leave my counter, but she would be smelling Youth Dew wherever she went. Chances were excellent that she would return to the source, the scent leading the way, and buy that source for her very own," stated Estee Lauder in an interview. A 1953 article talks about Estee Lauder’s new Youth Dew products: “The head of a cosmetic house has created a line of bath products for head to foot beauty. More than a fragrance accessory, the emollient Youth Dew bath oil is intended by the manufacturer to keep the body supple and smooth. A bath lotion de sachet infused with the same clinging fragrance is meant for shower addicts or as an after bath skin toner. Others in the bath product quartet are a soap in a pale Fragonard blue, and the velvety finish of bath powder." The Youth Dew Bath Oil came in three sizes: 1/2oz, 1 oz and 2 oz. The skin perfume was more highly concentrated than the bath oil, it was the purest concentration of essences and was meant to last longer than normal perfumes. This is not an antique Victorian scent bottle as I often see it described, it is actually from 1969, a 1/4 oz French glass bottle of Youth Dew perfume, seldom seen with the tag on it. The eau de parfum bottle with the blue bow wrapped around the center was first introduced in 1968. It was called the boutique spray. Contrary to popular belief, this was not made by Lalique, it was made by Verreries Brosse in the 1970s. The photo is by etsy seller antiquariansdaughter.
