icons: John William Waterhouse

John William Waterhouse, has been one of my absolute favourite artists ever since I learned of his existence. He needs no preamble, and this time around I've gone for a much simpler approach, to better allow the beauty of the original works to do all the talking. ;)

I've preserved the title of the each painting in the URL and file names.

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Omg! They're so beautiful Lauren! I love all of them! ♥

John William Waterhouse is one of mine and my sister favorite painters!!! His work is simply amazing... so only beautiful icons can come from it.

Lovely! ^^

Oh my gosh. YOU ARE OFFICIALLY MY HERO.

Basically taking all of these and will obviously credit your awesomeness.

Thank you so much- these are breathtaking!

I TOTALLY love John Waterhouse! My friend and I were having a whole discussion about The Lady of Shallot last week too, and I kept having his painting stuck in my head (which I have a print of tucked away somewhere, but not sure where!).

wowza! JWW is one of my favorite painters too! His depiction of women is so beautiful! I love your art icons because you always manage to do such a lovely and delicate job with them! Lets see 3 , 4 , 5 (saving this one!) , 13,14,23,28,35 and 43 are fantastic! :D

These are lovely! I adore your art icons!

My favorites? So hard to choose! My icon limit is groaning! And of course it's all your fault. I think I will take 21 and 44 but it is so hard to pick only a few! *saves ALL of them*

Lovely batch and sigh, I love his work too. I bought a calendar of his artwork for 2011. It's very inspiring :)

These are beautiful. Great coloring and I love the crops. Very nicely done. :)

Sorry, can't find a favorite because they're all beau-ti-FUL! :)

[identity profile] setentpet.livejournal.com 2011-05-29 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
these are beautiful. I really like the coloring on 3, 4, 7, and 29. Love the crop on 23!

I took 37. That's one of my favorites of his works, other than The Lady of Shallot. Years ago, I had made a bookmark from Lady Claire. There's no telling where it's at now. ;-) I love the style of her hair and the neckline of her dress. That is exactly how I want my dress and hair to look like when I get married...when ever that will be, if ever.

They're lovely! The original works you used for 15 and 22 have to be two of my favorite paintings of all time.

I'm sorry I didn't comment on these earlier!
These icons are absolutely amazing! Some of your best work, for sure! The coloring and blur effects - wow! I've saved 5, 18, 29, and 38, but really like 10, 23, 32, 45, and 46 as well. Lovely, lovely. *claps*
