Picture of the Week

Blogspot was down yesterday and so for the first time I broke my strict Monday/Wednesday/Friday blogging routine.
I had actually picked my Picture of the Week by searching my archives for Fri which returned a bunch of pictures from my Friendship post, a Casper David Friedrich folder and a gorgeous picture by Claude Verlinde. It feels a bit weird to use it now but I suppose it's still Friday a few places in the world.

La Fee Frileuse by Claude Verlinde.

And For those of us now living in Saturday here are the only two results for when I searched my archives for Sat.

 Nymph and Satyr by Alexandre Cabanel. 1860.

Two Satyrs by Peter Paul Rubens, 1618-19.
I love the comedy and malevolence in this image.

Nymphs Part 1: Old

I had quite the busy weekend this weekend. Friday night drinks in the city for a friend’s 22^nd birthday, Saturday night House warming, Sunday lazy afternoon BBQ (gotta admit I sleepwalked through this one but it was perfect after the last two nights). The result of this weekend? A heck of a lot of fun and a touch of inspiration. A friend at the BBQ was wearing this dreamy pale peachy pink maxi dress and a headband, that I’m finding difficult to describe, but basically a row of black fabric not completely opened roses along her head. Ah, gorgeous, and now I am totally feeling nymphs, so get your engines in gear and prepare for some beautiful ethereal images. Are you ready? Good let’s go.

The Cave of the Storm Nymphs by Sir Edward John Poynter (1903)

The Water Nymph by Herbert Draper (1908).

Echo by Alexandre Cabanel (1887).

Nymphe et Satyre by Alexandre Cabanel (1860).

Hylas and the Nymphs by John William Waterhouse (1896). When it comes to nymphs you can’t go wrong with Waterhouse.
