Muse of the Day
Sentiment is deeply steeped in what you loved as a child and what you love as a child is usually heavily influenced by your parents. This painting hung in my mother's house for as long as I can remember. The legend of King Arthur was a fairy tale for me. The Mists of Avalon seemed like an enormous book, sitting on my mother's shelf. When I came across an email detailing the work of a man in Australia, I was stopped in my tracks at this depiction of Waterhouse's painting about The Lady of Shallot in Tennyson poems. I do love tales of tragedy...don't even get me started on Romeo and Juliet movie day in English class! The real tragedy is that most of this beautiful art, on the artists property in Australia was destroyed by fires. Check it out HERE
