And might I say I am very envious of your proximity to such amazing works of art.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961174973796318673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-91185277999195296322008-08-03T19:06:00.000-04:002008-08-03T19:06:00.000-04:00Hello Grace,Not sure if you'll get this or not. I ...Hello Grace,<BR/><BR/>Not sure if you'll get this or not. I know this is a late comment to an old post, but I really like this blog! I came across it when I was looking for an image of The Enchanted Garden (which I nicked and put in my blog if that's ok?). Luckily for me, I live in Birkenhead (UK) where The Lady Lever gallery is and I went to visit recently (not for the first time, I might add). My favourite artist is Waterhouse and I wrote a bit in my blog about going and seeing his two paintings there. Just the other day I went to Manchester to see Hylas and the Nymphs for the first time. It was amazing! I've written about that too. There is also Echo and Narcissuss across the water from me in Liverpool which I've been to see a few times lately (I never tire of looking at Waterhouse's paintings). If you're interested I have my own website (www.imaginata.co.uk) with, besides my blog, paintings I've done of Waterhouse's work in the past. Some I quite like, others I'm not fussed on. My copy of Ophelia (in the blue dress) unfortunately falls in the latter category. I say unfortunately because I think I read that's your fave painting? Thisbe, which I did in pencils, falls into the former. I'm in the middle of doing Fair Rosamund at the moment. I've taken a photo of each stage of the painting so I may post each one every few days on my blog. Hopefully people will find it interesting as the picture builds up - if anyone reads it, that is ;)<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-29234237174806432582008-06-19T23:31:00.000-04:002008-06-19T23:31:00.000-04:00Yay!
