Dress and Matching Top

 

 Dress and Top

This dress is from the 1930's.
This drawing could have been for showing a Winter & Summer version of the dress.

It is nice piece to print as is.. or taken individually-
the clothing can be used across pages to unite a project into a theme.
With a little more time invested; they would make a great wardrobe set for paper dolls.

Delft Blue Violin

This very pretty Violin can't be played.
It is for displaying and is Delft earthenware.

Because of it's uniqueness; it can lend itself to many themes not having to do with music,
including projects that use color shades of Blue.

Lady Reading Framed with Flowers

 

Lady Reading Framed with Flowers

 Music, Books, & New-year's 1903
This appears to be a poster ad.
It feature a woman reading a book, she is surrounded with a frame of flowers.

The flowers through her hair unify the image so that the
frame of flowers does not distract by standing out on its own.
A stringed musical instrument and music sheets are along the bottom.
There are hints of the New-year with stars and hints of
Christmas with round bulb-like circles.

A dreamy, fantasy feeling is created with her hair flowing in the breeze.
Her clothing repeats the silky flowing movement.
Bookmarks hanging down and the strings below that hang from the instrument
give the mind the illusion that the stars between are hanging from the sky.

They all appear to be looking at the same thing in front of them.
Perhaps they are discussing who is going to catch what they are watching!

Blue Glass Flask Bottle

Antique Blue Glass Flask Bottle

This Blue Glass flask is thin on one side and vase shaped on the other.
The pretty blue glass even has realistic reflections.
It was painted in watercolor and has gouache and graphite.

This is a nice art piece as it is.
Or, try using it with other items to create whole new ideas.
The wide side looks like a vase and would be really good to include in derivative art.
Combine it with your favorite flowers or even digitally add a tree growing out of it.
