Pure genius. Thanks for sharing his brilliancy. "Each day I go to my studio full of joy; in the evening when obliged to stop because of darkness I can scarcely wait for the morning to come...My work is not only a pleasure, it has become a necessity. No matter how many other things I have in my life, if I cannot give myself to my dear painting I am miserable." --William Bouguereau

Seems that he and I share our SUN, MERCURY, VENUS, MARS, and CHIRON! I had never before seen his natal chart nor several of his works that you posted above, Sweet! Thank you Steven for this delightful adventure through his art. ------------------ Sendin' love your way, "your friend in spirit" IP: Logged |

Thank you both for your beautiful contributions!Here was an artist par excellence, without peer. I wish I could have met him. 26Taurus,
What a fantastic quote! Oh, to be inspired, devoted, and "attached" to something, anything in such a way! To suffer for something. What a beautiful, beautiful man. His work, his legacy, takes my breath away. God bless us, Stephen IP: Logged |

In those days, did the women have razors designed for sensitive skin to shave their fur off, I wonder? Beautiful pics.
(Sorry, I do appreciate the beautifully sensual paintings, just feeling somewhat frivolous). The children/ cherubs have such soulful eyes. IP: Logged |
