John William Waterhouse

John William Waterhouse - Lady of Shalot

A friend of mine pointed out how much he liked Waterhouse. And after a brief moment, I said, "Oh yes, me too." Who wouldn't? I grew up with his work hanging in my house, but it never occurred to me to ask who painted the lovely ladies. So of course, I had to come home and search out more Waterhouse. I don't think he could paint an ugly woman if he tried!

This one is interesting to me because she is caught in a moment. Her suggested movement is so curious and graceful.

Everything about this is just so dreamy and delicate. The light is so soft and the details are so gentle.
