Why you don't want to piss off a #novelist (#writer, #author) or an #artist (or people who have them as friends). They may get #creative all over your face.
[Description: A mildly bouffant-ed artist with dark nail polish indicates contemplation by holding their right hand to their chin while standing in front of studio wall bearing two complete paintings alongside a partially finished canvas of a reclining brodalisque.]
New art studio is pretty much finished except hanging some art and shelves and a small worktable. Oh, and motivation to actually paint something would be important too. Why is getting my art mojo back so damn difficult? #art#artist#artistblock#creativeblock#artstudio#painter

We still see many of the courtiers of the time through his eyes.
Awhile ago I posted a picture of my hubby as a little boy (he is in the back seat) with his Grandpa rowing a boat on a lake...It got me thinking and painting so I could give him a special Christmas gift this year! Almost done!
"À ce moment-là du XVIIe siècle, ceux qui venaient des îles britanniques, hommes et femmes, étaient plus que les Africains dans les champs de tabac ; même au milieu du siècle, quand la population de colons en Virginie représentaient environ 11.000 personnes, les Africains ne comptaient que pour 300 environ. N'importe lequel d'entre eux - Africain, Anglais, Écossais ou Irlandais - devait s'estimer heureux s'il vivait plus longtemps que les termes de leur contrat. Sur 300 enfants venus de Grande-Bretagne entre 1619 et 1622, seuls 12 étaient encore vivants en 1624"

Dans "Anatomie des Anglais" d'Emerson, "force physique, vigueur, virilité, énergie se dégagent comme étant le prolongement naturel du gout pour le sang des premiers Saxons qu'il présente avec amour."
