Happy Valentines Day
So I hope that everyone had a good Valentines Day. Mine was quite nice. I draw a homemade card for my wife and I also made some for the kids too. After work we all went out and had dinner out. Yup, very nice indeed. ^_^
I also thought it would be a good time for some art history. The painting above is called Cupid and Psyche in the Nuptial Bower, (1792-1793) and was painted by Hugh Douglas Hamilton, and Irish painter in the late 1700’s. It’s based on the story of Cupid and a beautiful woman named Psyche. Many sculptures and paintings are based on this story but I picked this one as I thought it has certain appeal to it. I like how Cupid seems to be trying to convince Psyche of something, but she’s hesitant. But in that hesitation there is a small bit of her that wants to be with him. She knows that if she looks into his eyes she will fall for him.
That or she’s looking at his wang.
