Friday Arts & History Feature - Some Topics in The Next Few Months

I'm back from the little blog hiatus and, wanted to let you know a sampling of the topics I'll be covering for the Friday Arts & History Feature in the next few months. 

Isabella of France, Queen of England, the consort of Edward II


Catherine de Medici, Queen of France


Artemisia Gentileschi, Baroque painter






 
Peter the Great and St. Petersburg


 There will also be some newly discovered (by me, anyway) fantasy art, as well as inspirational pictures.

If you'd like to see a particular topic of interest to you, whether historical or art related, I would love to hear about it in the comments!

Quote of the Day




We create our lives a thought at a time. And sometimes, it comes down to changing a thought such as 'Why did this happen to me?' into 'There is a divine plan and there is a reason for this, and my choice is to create the most positive reaction I can.'
