1/2 In honour of June being LGBTQ+ #PrideMonth, this #FridayFeelings is dedicated to representations of Shakespeare’s characters Rosalind and Celia in ‘As You Like It’ and how artists chose to represent the emotions these women feel for each other.

Mirror mirror...this week's #ThursdayTheme is all about revelatory reflections as featured in Holman Hunt's 'Awakening Conscience' (1853), Ford Madox Brown's 'Take Your Son, Sir!' (1856), Rossetti's 'Lady Lilith' (1873) & Sidney Meteyard's 'I am Half-Sick of Shadows' (1913)

“O roses, June roses! From yonder beds of bloom
Is wafted toward me your subtle faint perfume,”

‘June Roses’, Alice Williams Brotherton.

To celebrate the start of June and the blooming of roses, for this #StudySaturday are two oil sketches by John William Waterhouse.

Works by versatile, prolific William Blake Richmond (1842-1921) for #WilliamWednesday: Venus & Anchises (1890 Walker Art Gall), William Morris (1880s NPG), Charity (1910, Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Sq) plus a sumptuous example of aesthetic dress with Mrs Luke Ionides (1879, V&A)

To celebrate reaching 2,000 followers on Instagram- we only started the society’s page three months ago- we wanted to reintroduce the two of us, @krobins77 and @HannahRSquire, that look after the society’s social media and share our favourite artworks. (Continues in comments.)

This week's #ThursdayTheme features Lilith, Adam's first wife: 'The witch he loved before the gift of Eve'.
Painting & poem by Rossetti with the face of Fanny Cornforth (1867), Alexa Wilding (1866-1873), study (1866) & photo of Fanny: 'And her enchanted hair was the first gold'

Bound to the Bark: Dryads & Hamadryads for this week's #ThursdayTheme: Tree Deities & Protectors of the Oak, so connected that they sadly die if the tree is cut down. Painted here by Waterhouse (1893), Evelyn de Morgan (1885) plus Tree Flower Fairies by Cicely Mary Barker (1920s)

This week's #TuesdayTale tells of Demeter (Ceres) & Persephone (Proserpine), a myth about the death & rebirth of vegetation & change of seasons but also of maternal devotion, grief & resurrection. Rossetti returned often to the theme. Also: Evelyn de Morgan & Leighton @BMAGimages

Midweek Marble Musings: escapism to classical climes & dolce far niente: the paintings of John William Godward (1861-1922) for this week's #WilliamWednesday. He committed suicide at 61 with a note that apparently read "the world is not big enough for [both] myself and a Picasso"
