"Fabulous Finds -- John William Waterhouse"

John William Waterhouse:  Boreas, The Soul of the Rose, Picking Flowers, Ophelia

I discovered a box of note cards at a local consignment shop the other day.  I did not recognize the artist or the works, but I was smitten.  The artist's depictions of women are stunning.

I learned that the painter, John William Waterhouse, painted in the "Pre-Raphaelite" style, His contemporaries were the Impressionists; Van Gogh, Monet, etc.

Art enables us to find ourselves and to lose ourselves at the same time.
