Having recently become interested in making desktop wallpapers as well as icons, here is my first public attempt: John William Waterhouse's The Lady of Shalott. Fans of Anne of Green Gables will recognize the poetry. ;-)

And I couldn't resist making an icon to go with it:

I think it's spelled Shalott, not Shalot.

It's still a lovely banner.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

You're right, it is spelled Shalott! Thanks for catching it. I've fixed them now. :-)

Just was viewing Waterhouse paintings myself. I love his work.

Love the new layout by the way!

I swear I could spend hours looking at art. :-) Waterhouse and Tissot included!

Thank you! :-D

Lovely! I love that painting and the poem, and the musical version by Loreena McKennitt! Yay!

Beautiful work. These are among my favourite poems and artists. Taking the 1024x768 and the icon. Will credit.

Have you heard Lorenna McKennitt's rendition of this poem? It's beautiful.

Thank you! I looooove Waterhouse. :-)

I've heard mention of it!! More than one person has recommended her to me. ;-)

I just snagged the 1024 X 768 wallpaper, and the icon. These are beautiful! ♥ The Lady of Shalott is one of my favorite poems, and Waterhouse is one of my favorite artists. :)
