Happy Birthday, Neddy, aka Edward Burne-Jones, my favorite of the Pre-Raphaelites. Born August 28th, 1833 in Birmingham.
How should we celebrate his Birthday today? Well, there are a few possibilities...
-Write a chivalrously romantic love note to a woman you deem to be a Stunner....
Wear RED today, as it is a Tuesday and that's the Synesthetic color of the day according to Ned.
Read a good book.
Buy a shirt.
But above all, don't eat carrots.
Seriously...Happy Birthday to my favorite Pre-Raphaelite.
Great pics and fab first drawing too. Hm...I think I will write a love note to celebrate :-) Great ideas! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI wrote a chivalrously romantic, moledric love note... to his ghost. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteI posted red-inspired [bohemian] decor.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Love your blog by the way~
My art history teacher, Dr. Gayle Seymour, actually discovered an Edward Burne-Jones painting in the house of a family in Morrilton, Arkansas. They had no idea what they had until she enlightened them. It was his painting, "Music", of two girls, one holding a violin. Can you imagine the thrill of such a discovery? I would have been terribly tempted to snatch it and keep it for myself.
ReplyDeleteLaura, it totally counts ;)
ReplyDeleteLouise, I love that idea :D
Autumns veil, that works too!
Grace, I'd be tempted to do the same ("It's just a bit of doodle by a local artist...$300?") except every time I looked at it I'd imagine Neddy's ghost glaring disapprovingly. LOL.
Wonderful Paintings are here. impressed
