Photoset reblogged from neukunstgruppe
George de Forest Brush. American painter and friend to Abbot Handerson Thayer- the cross-pollination is self evident.
The moment I saw the first painting in this set, I had a hunch- It seems highly likely that he was also an imminent influence in the work of N.C. Wyeth, particularly in the latter’s paintings of Native American subjects: http://www.bpib.com/illustrat/brush.htm

Today In History
‘Harriet Tubman, abolitionist, author, and engineer of the Underground Railroad, led Union Army guerillas into South Carolina and freed nearly 800 slaves on this date June 2 1863. Tubman was the first woman in U.S. history to command an armed military raid.’
“I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” - Harriet Tubman

A rare early 18th century Memento Mori band gold known as a skeletal, as the whole length of the skeleton is employed on the outside of the hoop, with other emblems. The earliest known example is dated 1659. This ring is enamelled in black with a full skeleton, twin hearts for love and an hourglass, symbolic of the passage of time and the brevity of life.

Photoset reblogged from The Oddment Emporium
Puzzlewood is an ancient woodland site, near Coleford in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England. The site, covering 14 acres, shows evidence of open cast iron ore mining dating from the Roman period, and possibly earlier.
In 1848 some workmen, after moving a block of stone in the woods, found a small cavity in the rocks. In this cavity, hidden away, were three earthenware jars containing over 3,000 Roman coins. No-one knows why the coins were hidden away in the cliff face nor by whom.
J. R. R. Tolkien, a frequent visitor to the Forest of Dean, may have visited Puzzlewood, and many believe Puzzlewood was the inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle-earth, such as the Old Forest, Mirkwood, Fangorn or Lothlórien contained within The Lord of the Rings. J.K Rowling is also said to have visited Puzzlewood, and it may have been this that influenced her idea of The Forbidden Forest in the Harry Potter books.

“Be so good they can’t ignore you.” - Steve Martin
First movie I ever saw of his was “The Man with Two Brains” and I instantly loved Steve Martin. One of my favorite movies when I was super little, no joke. Upon watching it now, it’s totally inappropriate for a small kid - but what the hell. I just liked the idea of talking brains in jars :)

I decided to name my art show at 303 North Studio “Stellar”
Definition of STELLAR

It works out nicely and will look decent on the gallery window and flier ;) Once I design those I’ll link ‘em up here too. -
I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate questions and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.
I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.
Interestingly enough, I took a test several years ago that placed me directly in the middle of left and right hemispheres. Logically creative, I guess?
