Having spent a weekend doing….well, not too much of anything (other than watching the hubby lose himself in the new “Wolfenstein” PC game—whoa, boy, that game is INTENSE), there’s not really a good picture recap to share. There was a little gardening, a massively horrible headache, some sparkly-pink nail polish, and…..that was about it.
So, instead, I’ll share my #1 All.-Time-Favorite artist, John William Waterhouse.

St Eulalia, 1885
I don’t recall when I first saw a Waterhouse image.

Ophelia, 1889
But I can say there’s just something I really love about the beauty in every single painting.

The Crystal Ball, 1902
I guess I’m a romantic at heart.

The Soul of the Rose or My Sweet Rose
1908
A Pre-Raphaelite lover.

Ophelia, 1910
I even cross-stitch Waterhouse images.

The Shrine
1895
They take YEARS to complete (mainly due to my sporadic interest level and only working on them in the evenings).

Miranda — The Tempest
1916
I’ve made this one:

Juliet, 1898
And I’m currently working on this image:

Boreas, 1903
Next on the list is this one:

Hylas and the Nymphs
1896
I can’t remember if I’ve already done a post on Waterhouse…..so, if I have, apologies. Just bask in the pretty.

The Mermaid, 1901
