Interiors – The Painted House

On By ResaIn The Painted House138 Comments

In this second last post of the Painted House, we look at the remainder of the interior.

Main Floor

Bathroom

This is a difficult painting to capture, as the bathroom was about 5′ wide, tops.

I used the zoom-out feature to shoot it.

……which accounts for most of the distortion seen in the slideshow.

Dining Room

Living Room

The art was painted over wall paper in the living room. In a couple of pieces, the art was integrated with the wall paper, as seen in. the slideshow.

Second Floor

Bedrooms

This was a Jackson Pollack + (sort of) all over paint with installation. This is a tiny room, and the most popular with the kids.

“Put that back! Don’t touch that! I want this! No, it’s part of the art! Waaaaaa!, Don’t go there! I want the bear! Put the bear back!,etc.”

Not a guy, part of the art.

I got out of that room fast, but not before I nabbed a shot of me in the splattered mirror.

The master bedroom was done in faux stained glass effect, and partly shown in in the post September of The Painted House series. The third bedroom was featured in Bedroom of TPH series

All 8 (9th coming soon) of The Painted House posts are easily available to view by clicking on the diptych doors art, second from the top on the sidebar.

Bedroom- Painted House

In a dark second floor bedroom is this fabulous face.

The room was so dark and the colours of the painting so dark that some of the pics came out almost black.

It was quite the shock to my senses,

When I turned 180 degrees around, and saw this.

View of when you come out of the room, to go down the stairs. The black w/ green motif doorway on the right,

….. is a bathroom.

I told you I had a surprise for you on my stop of your Simple Pleasures book tour. All I had to do was pick 1 Bryan Ferry song. This turned out to be most difficult, overwhelming. Better late than never!

Famous Artists and Their Models

On By ResaIn Famous Artists and Their Models121 Comments

In the March 23, 1962 issue of Life magazine was an article titled “Famous Artists and Their Models”.

In getting rid of stuff, old magazines used for research are going. I bought them in the early 2000’s when I was working for Showtime.

In going through the magazines, I found this article. It is so fascinating, I have to share.

Nick of time, the magazine crumbled as I held it. I did my best taking pics.

The articles are photographed and presented in a way to see and read best.

I adore all of the anecdotal editorial that came with these fabulous images.

Click on the cover of the issue, and it will take you to a PDF of the article as presented in the magazine, as opposed to how I have presented. It is downloadable.

I can’t think of a more fitting work of music than “Frozen” by MK-O, featuring our dear dahling Marina on vocals ( & more). After all, the models are gone, but the images that came from their poses are frozen in time.
