William Bouguereau (1825-1905)

"Each day I go to my studio full of joy; in the evening when obliged to stop because of darkness I can scarcely wait for the morning to come...My work is not only a pleasure, it has become a necessity. No matter how many other things I have in my life, ifI cannot give myself to my dear painting I am miserable." --William Bouguereau

"One has to seek Beauty and Truth, Sir! As I always say to my pupils, you have to work to the finish. There's only one kind of painting. It is the painting that presents the eye with perfection, the kind of beautiful and impeccable enamel you find in Veronese and Titian." --William Bouguereau, 1895

As a young man, Bouguereau put himself through the Ecole des Beaux-Arts by keeping books for a wine merchant and coloring lithographic labels for a local grocer. In his spare time, late in the evening, he created drawings from memory. This diligence and discipline resulted in an extrordinarily productive artistic life. Bouguereau produced more than seven hundred finished works and achieved a remarkable level of public acclaim and financial success. He never forgot his difficult early days, however; working secretly, he assisted young artists who were struggling as he had to pursue an artistic career in the face of financial difficulties.

Another tribute to one of my favorite artist - William Bouguereau (1825-1905). This is the first image / work that I have posted in a long time - it has been about a year. I would like to thank everyone that has added me to their favorites, stopped by and viewed my work or sent me a comment. Please any constructive criticism is welcomed. Also any ideas for new works; I can only get better with the help and guidance of others - please share.

Thank you

Will B happens to be my fave artist also. XD Soooo cool to run into someone else who loves his stuff. Heck, 2 of my 6 cherubs are directly inspired by paintings of his (That girl cherub in the background of THIS pic, for instance, was what I based my character Rainbow off of)

If you have a version without the watermark I'd like to feature this lovely piece on Bouguereau Remastered

I was thinking about that, and I have taken the watermark off of all my works. By the way any words of wisdom - any changes that I should or should not make?

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look
