Gwen John (British/Welsh, 1876–1939) • Portrait of Chloe Boughton-Leigh • 1910-14 (seeALTtext) #art #ArtHistory #painting #WomanArtist #Women'sHistoryMonth #GwenJohn #PortraitPainting #20thCenturyBritishArt #oilpainting #WomenInArtHistory #FemaleArtist #LGBTQ+Artist #ArtLovers #ArtAppreciation
Gwen John was a Welsh artist who worked in France for most of her career. Her paintings, mainly portraits of anonymous female sitters, are rendered in a range of closely related tones. Although in her lifetime, John's work was overshadowed by that of her brother Augustus and her mentor and lover Auguste Rodin, awareness and esteem for John's artistic contributions has grown considerably since her death. -Wikipedia

As I posted this over on Mastodon for a certain very clever and very haaaaawny fox friend, I’ll post it here too.

The image isn’t anything you’ve not seen before, but the alt text was nice to write out for the fox. }nwn{

A large swole and nekkid Golden StripeyPanzer DragonGrrl with transparent background as drawn by Ciraeon. Starting at the bottom, hir massive footmitts are easily capable of making short work of retired automobiles or anything else shi puts them to work on. Leading up from those are two immense sequoias for legs that are digitigrade in nature and cradle a monolith of a barely sheathed masculine artillery piece that looks capable of doing its job exceedingly effectively with a consenting and structurally accommodating partner. Tremendously predatory hips then give way to a tightly drawn in waistline that is thickly cobbled and considerably overshadowed by an immense pair of breasts, no doubt granted by hir fertility powers and hybrid dragon-tiger heritage. Each breast is golden, and has an inner white golden plating that runs from hir nethers all the way up hir torso, the aforementioned inside of hir breasts and up to the underside of hir jawline and throat. Hir shoulders are tremendously overdeveloped, hir arms quite Herculean and curled with hir left on hir hip and the right waving to the viewer. Wing arms that are even more immense fan behind hir and go off the sides of the picture, showing just how immensely powerful they must be to grant hir powers of flight by muscular means. Thunderwing is hir family name and you can see why without any doubt. Out behind hir, hir testicles are floor to hip height, hir tail resting and arcing across and to the Driger’s right in the background.

Black and white pencil drawing in a realistic style. Several instruments sit quietly on a padded leather corner bench during a break in the traditional Irish music session at the Galway Arms pub in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. In the foreground on the left is a Banjo owned by Pat Quinn. Next is a fiddle belonging to former Gaelic Storm fiddler Katie Grennan. A guitar and concertina belonging to John Williams, of Solas, sit in the anchor spot in the corner. Next to that is a bodhrán drum. Not present in the original source photo, this drum is loosely patterned after the one belonging to Paddy Homan who frequently plays at this spot as well. In the background above the bench is a brick wall, while a pint of Guinness is seen in the foreground.

The DrgnGrrl seems very into hir workout, currently pumping a barbell that I can only surmise has the densities of two black holes contained within it to keep presenting an exertion challenge for the obviously excited and expandingly aroused GoldenPanzer.

On the turntable this morning... #TheMeters - Live At The Great American Music Hall 1975, #RSD Release April 12 2025, #Funk #Soul #MusicSky #VinylSky #RecordCollection Pressed on Mardi Gras colored vinyl. Recorded At – The Great American Music Hall, Recording #Bootleg, music is great! #SeeAltText
The Meters - - Live At The Great American Music Hall 1975. Considered by many to be one of the founding fathers of funk, The Meters created a unique sound that lasted through the sixties and seventies and was reborn in the late eighties. Their trademark sound blends funk, blues, and dance grooves with a New Orleans vibe. The history of this native New Orleans band dates back to 1965, when keyboardist & vocalist Art Neville recruited bassist George Porter Jr., drummer Joseph 'Zigaboo' Modeliste and guitarist Leo Nocentelli to form The Meters. They became the house band for Allen Toussaint and his record label, Sansu Enterprises. In 1969 the Meters released "Sophisticated Cissy" and "Cissy Strut", both major R&B chart hits. Cyril Neville, Art Neville's brother, joined the band in 1975 as a percussionist and vocalist for three of their albums for Reprise/Warner Brothers. After twelve years and ten studio albums, The Meters disbanded in 1979 due to business problems. The original line-up reformed after an informal jam during the 1989 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. In 1994, Art Neville and Porter, alongside two new members, were officially christened The Funky Meters, and continued to perform into the next decade.

Hilda Rix Nicholas (Australian, 1884 - 1961) • La robe Chinoise • c. 1913 • State Art Collection, Art Gallery of Western Australia -seeAltText
#art #WomenInArtHistory #arthistory #WomensHistoryMonth #HildaRixNicholas #painting #womanartist #oilpainting #AustralianArtist #Early20thCenturyArt #artwork
Rix Nicholas was one of the first Australians to paint post-impressionist landscapes, was made a member of the Société des Peintres Orientalistes Français, and had works hung in the Paris Salon in 1911 and 1913. The family evacuated from France to England following the start of World War I. A period of personal tragedy followed, as Rix's sister died in 1914, then her mother in 1915. In 1916 she met and married George Matson Nicholas, only to be widowed the next month when he was killed on the Western Front. – Wikipedia Rix Nicholas, c. 1920, dressed as "the spirit of the bush"

You know the thing about rose colored glasses? 1. It’s true, everything does look nicer with them on (had a pair of pink-lensed sunglasses in 1998). 2. Hot pink drapes on east facing windows make for happier mornings. #nofilter #seealttext #whiteroomssuck #thanksgivingisalie #historywaswhitewashed
Breakfast nook: window to the left covered in colorfully striped curtains, window in front covered in hot pink curtains that the morning sun is shining through and turning everything a pinkish red. Along the left wall is the corner of a butcher block, an old 70s kitchen chair, a bookshelf with plants on top, and a 1956 pink Frigidaire range. Along the back wall is a small 1950s formica table also covered in plants, and to the right is a counter that separates the breakfast nook from the kitchen. There’s a full wall that extends the width of two cabinets. There are three bar stools along the counter, with open cabinets underneath. The hanging light is a large old slag glass tulip light, every petal is a different color (and it matches the striped curtains, which was why we bought the light). The floor is an ugly cheap ass white ceramic tile that destroys anything that a klutz like me drops on it and I hate it. But it reflects the pink-red curtain filtered morning sunlight beautifully, I’ll give it that.
