Art of John William Waterhouse

I'm thinking of putting all these paintings on my digital frame
and imagining that I own these beautiful works of art...

John William Waterhouse
British
1849-1917


Windswept

At the Shrine

Boreas

I am half sick of shadows, said the Lady of Shalott

Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May


Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May


Gather Ye Rosebuds

Hmm, 3 paintings with the same name...
perhaps an art historian could explain the reason for this?
I've renamed them with more distinct titles... :)
a - Two Ladies Bending Down to Get Flowers
b - One Lady Standing Up and Holding Flowers in a Bowl
c - One Lady Standing Up and Holding Flowers But Deciding That
There's No Need for a Bowl When Her Arms Will Suffice


My Sweet Rose
[Now if she was in the mood for a bit of gatherin',
would this painting also be called Gather Ye Rosebuds?]

Lady of Shalott
[see rendition "If artists had more paint"]

La Belle Dame Sans Merci
[There are recurring themes by other artists. I like this painting
but I love the work of the same name done by Sir Frank Dicksee]

Miss Betty Pollock
[Resembles a younger Emilia Fox?]

Saint Cecilia
My grandmother's patron saint :)

The Enchanted Garden

The Flower Picker

Fair Rosamund

Flora

The Tempest
I've seen this pop up many times especially on Ribbons of Light :)

Tristan and Isolde
[I still haven't seen the film based on this legend...I will soon...]
