LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

this picture.

Reason: The color is so vibrant and I like the quality of the picture.

hat and frame

I forgot that I took pictures of this. Anywho's I changed the color a tad bit, like making the background a little less red. Also the hat I still have to burn it in on the left side because, it's still a little to shiny.

I changed the background totally and made her pop with complentary colors!

love it =)

Pics From Over The Break

^ My Sister-in-law

All these photo's will be re-taken so I can have them against a black or colored background. Also I will add more picture's because the annoying school server lost them :P

My Idea: Okay I have decided that what I am going to do is to take a picture leaning in a chair in a differnt way. Then I am gonna replace what they wear to make it look like a dress. And the materials that I am gonna is differnt blue stones.

my favorite painting from the met.

Painting: Princesse de Broglie 1851-1853

Artist: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (French)

Materials: Oil on canvas

Information: This splendid painting of Joséphine Eléonore Marie Pauline de Galard de Brassacede Béarn, princesse de Broglie, is his last commissioned portrait of a female sitter. The princesse, a member of the most cultivated circles of the Second Empire, was renown for her great beauty as well as her reserve, both qualities captured in this portrait. Ingres's facility for brilliantly transcribing the material quality of objects is seen in the rich satin and lace of the sitter's gown, the silk damask upholstery, and the richly embroidered evening scarf draped across the chair. Also rendered in exquisite detail are the princesse's sumptuous jewels, which include the fashionable antique-inspired pendant around her neck.

The Princesse de Broglie died of consumption at the age of thirty-five. Her bereaved husband kept this portrait behind draperies in perpetual tribute to her memory. It remained in the family until shortly before it was acquired by Robert Lehman and retains the original, ornately carved frame that Ingres himself selected.
