“Winged Lion” #ink and #gauche #onpaper — pa “Winged Lion” #ink and #gauche #onpaper — part of my #mythology #creature series. The lion is one of the most preferred symbols of leadership and emperors. Since many centuries, it has been used as a sign for all that is considered as majestic because of its noble character, alertness, courage, strength, and power. It is depicted as a winged lion (or a bull) with the wings of an eagle and the head of a human. The eagle is usually associated with the Sun god, which controls and strengthens the lion, and the human head symbolizes intelligence.

“How to Love” Oil on canvas, 40x55” “When “How to Love” Oil on canvas, 40x55” “When we speak of falling in love, we might find that a slight restatement of the experience would help clarify our direction. For when you say “I fell in love” with him or her you are saying that he or she was the key that unlocked your heart — the place within yourself where you are love. When the experience is mutual, you can see that the psychic chemistry of the situation allows both partners to “fall in love” or to “awake into love” or to “come into the Spirit.” Since love is a state of being — and the Divine state at that — the state to which we all yearn to return, we wish to possess love. At best we can try to possess the key to our hearts — our beloved — but sooner or later we find that even that is impossible. To possess the key is to lose it. Love has to spring spontaneously from within: and it is in no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together: but though love cannot be forced on anyone, it can be awakened in him through love itself. Love is essentially self-communicative: Those who do not have it catch it from those who have it. True love is unconquerable and irresistible; and it goes on gathering power and spreading itself, until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches.” — Ram Dass . . . . #ramdass #ramdassquotes #oiloncanvas #howtolive #howtolove #contemporaryart #midcenturymodern #midcentury #loveart #artlove #fineartpainting #loveyourself #lovingwhatis #artbasel #primalart #natureart #braidingsweetgrass #reciprocity #beauty #naturalbeauty #beautyaddict #realbeauty #finearts

“Self Portrait, After Velázquez” 72x60” oil “Self Portrait, After Velázquez” 72x60” oil on linen. The the pose comes from Diego Velázquez’s 1656 painting “Las Meninas,” Scholars have been analyzing the painting for over three centuries, and still haven’t settled on its meaning. “Few paintings in the history of art have generated so many and varied interpretations as this, Velázquez’s culminating work,” wrote art historian and Velázquez expert Jonathan Brown in his 1986 book, Velázquez: Painter and Courtier. Nearly two decades later, during a 2014 lecture at The Frick Collection, he quipped, “I feel in my bones that I may be suffering from the early stages of LMFS—Las Meninas Fatigue Syndrome,” adding, “I’m not referring to the painting, but to the writing about it.” , . . . . . . . . . #notai #fineart #contemporaryart #moderart #velasquez #midcenturymodern #midcentury #homeart #arthistory #artcritic #figureart #art #artcollector #artcollectors #oiloncanvas

How NOT to view art. On the other hand, here’ How NOT to view art. On the other hand, here’s an alternative from @jerrysaltz “How to Look at Art Like an Artist "I know when I'm in a gallery or museum with artists because this is how they look at it." Saltz rushes toward the podium, feeling and banging and inspecting all sides, face an inch from its surface. "You're trying to see what it's made of, how they made it, right artists? In other words, you're stealing! More power to you."
