Maude Fealy

Beautiful entries for last week's Southern Belle challenge.

This week I have another beautiful woman for your inspiration.

The beautiful stage actress Maude Fealy.

Maude Fealy was an American actress who during the early twentieth century was one of the leading ladies of the American stage. Her youthful beauty made her a popular subject for postcards.  

More Maude Fealy postcards can be found here.   She was a popular postcard subject.  There seems to be 100s of postcards using her image.

Southern Belle

Welcome to another Soartful challenge.

This image came from June's 

Art Freebies

If you haven't visited Art Freebies yet, be sure to stop in.

June has a wonderful assortment of images.

When I saw this image,  I immediately thought of 

Gone With the Wind.

What comes to your mind?  Create it and share with all of

us at Soartful.  

If you would like to use this image in your piece, please do.

Have a wonderful Easter.

Frida Kahlo

For a long time now I've been interested in Frida.   On a trip
to Mexico I visited the house in Quanajuato where she lived with
Diego Rivera.   Frida had a very colorful life and I was
surprised to find that house painted brown.  

Frieda

This week the challenge is to celebrate all things Frida.


Thank you for all of your gorgeous Gothic Arch creations.
What a fabulous treat.

Gothic Arch

Welcome to another week at Soartful.

Thank you so much for all of the beautiful

April Showers Bring May Flowers art pieces.

This week for your inspiration I found this gorgeous

Gothic Arch.

The title of this painting is

Doorway to the Refectory,

Kirkham Priory, Yorkshire (1804)

by John Sell Cotman

I hope you find inspiration in the beautiful colors, textures,

light and shadows.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Beautiful Exotic Thailand pieces everyone.

I enjoyed every one of them. My daughter is just back

from her trip and I will be hearing all about it tomorrow.

I will be sharing all of your beautiful artwork with her.

We are having showers here in South Carolina. You

know that old saying

'April Showers Bring May Flowers'

I'm ready. My flower garden is enjoying the nice

soaking rains that we've been having. The Azaleas and Wisteria

are in full bloom and gorgeous. The Dogwood trees will be next.

I found this fun poster and thought it would be perfect

for the April Showers Bring May Flowers theme

for this week.

You are welcome to use this photo or just let it inspire you

to create your own interpretation of our theme this week.

Enjoy
