To Ellen


This blog is made to the honor of my grandmother Ellen Elisabeth Thomsen who was a modern woman .
She was born in Randers in Denmark 1895 and died in Copenhagen 1976.
She had long salmon red hair down to her hips. It was braided and put up with lots of hairpins to make it look short.

Request for more redhaired male portraits

Fernand Hodler


                                            Love this artist he is so powerful and so skilled!

Was Strindberg redhaired? I checked on other portraits, but it is hard to tell.
With a little goodwill he could look redhaired here!


Also Christian Krogh's portrait makes him look redhaired.

The real picture looks like this:



Karoly Ferenzcy

Now the background gets clear it's pinetrees and not just some blur.
The proportions and coloration in the face are accurate and all together it is painted and not smeared like
the amateur copy abowe, where the unskilled painter kill the color by to much mixing and pulling.

All the different painters catch the seemingly boneless  limbs of Lytton.
Here he  is almost sliding out of the chair and down to the floor,just like the blanket.

George Catlin, a lawyer turned painter, traveled thousands of miles from 1830 to 1836 following the trail of the Lewis and Clark expedition.  Catlin visited 50 tribes living west of the Mississippi River from present-day North Dakota to Oklahoma, studying their habits, customs, and mode of life and painting their portraits and landscape.  His fieldwork culminated in published journals and more than five hundred oil paintings.  Catlin later became a showman, entrepreneur, and writer in America and in Europe.
rebloged from Campfire the educational program about Catlin.


George Catlin painted many exelent portraits of American Indians please look at Campfire:
