@Scottyboy0902 @memorialdevice This is the one that shook me
Well done all partial guessers - I’m going to be busy later so here’s the skinny! See you next week 🤗 https://t.co/S0DNtuylb2
Friday Kwiz time but I’m not sure if it’s Fiendish this week! @ahistoryinart & I don’t discuss our choices but often guess each other’s immediately. Anyhoo - who never changed their palette from day 1? This artist!
It’s Fiendish Friday Art Kwiz with @ahistoryinart and I’m looking for hair care tips; who painted this lustrous mane? Whose is it? The ornaments are highly significant - but what do they signify? This weeks winner receives Ryanair flights for 2 to Belarus 🇧🇾 . Good luck 😉
After a bout of debilitating tuberculosis Ilija Bašičević Bosilj, a livestock farmer from Šid in Serbia, got cracking on art to turn a coin and painted Saints, Bible stories, epic poetry. I love artists who couldn’t care a scrap for what you, me, or anybody else thinks!
...sometimes you just have to pull over, get the emergency watercolours out and catch it; a grey horse in a yard at Horbling and a field worker toilet on the soggy Fen near the Forty Foot.
Art swot @asgates99gets the apple again! It’sHamilton Hamilton, protégé of Ruskin, Barbizon hanger-on and East coast slicker. He loved a bit of yellow did HH! https://t.co/g9ZMHdkyTs
His paintings are often of children and have a viewpoint as if a small child himself. Wonderful stuff.
