they abandoned it for a reason.

I have this recurring dream where I'm in a bathroom or locker room with a nonsensical layout and dark, green tiles. There's not blood or a figure, just this idea that I need to leave now or I might never leave at all. There are no posters, no personal belongings, nothing but smooth tile and a horrible sense of dread. The corners are dark. Something is on its way.

couldn’t resist showing off this bastard of a painting I did for a final in one of my classes,,

I suffered extensively for it but I am very proud of how it turned out :) especially considering it’s such a wild step out of my usual comfort zone in terms of both medium, scale and pretty much everything besides the figure lmao

the whole thing is done in acrylic gouache and it’s 22x30 inches 👍 stupid fuckin bigass painting

I Am Half-Sick of Shadows, Said the Lady of Shalott

Artist: John William Waterhouse (English, 1849–1917)

Date: 1915

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Description

I Am Half-Sick of Shadows, Said the Lady of Shalott is a painting by John William Waterhouse completed in 1915. It is the third painting by Waterhouse that depicts a scene from the Tennyson poem, "The Lady of Shalott". The title of the painting is a quotation from the last two lines in the fourth and final verse of the second part of Tennyson's poem:

But in her web she still delights To weave the mirror’s magic sights, For often thro’ the silent nights A funeral, with plumes and lights And music, came from Camelot: Or when the moon was overhead Came two young lovers lately wed; 'I am half sick of shadows,' said The Lady of Shalott.

The painting shows the Lady of Shalott resting from her weaving.

The lady wears a red dress, in a room with Romanesque columns holding up the arches of the window reflected in the mirror. The frame of the loom and the geometric tiles of the floor lead the viewer into the room, where reds, yellows and blues echo the more vivid colours outside. A single poppy can be seen reflected in the mirror. The shuttles of the loom resemble boats, foreshadowing the Lady's death.

This decorative tiled stove stands in the corner of the drawing room in Carl Larsson's summer house. Larsson found the stove, dated 1754, on a building site and in need of some repair. His neighbours thought him foolish for wanting to restore and use it.
