Art is what you make of it.

Art is what you make of it. So I took Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio's portrait and altered it, producing a new piece of artwork: a new art for old.

3 0f Clover

“Corned beef and cabbage and leprechaun men.

Colorful rainbows hide gold at their end.

Shamrocks and clovers with three leaves plus one.

Dress up in green—add a top hat for fun.

Steal a quick kiss from the lasses in red.

A tin whistle tune off the top of my head.

Friends, raise a goblet and offer this toast—

'The luck of the Irish and health to our host!'” 

― Richelle E. Goodrich 

I love Ireland!

Lady of Distances

                                            

I love you only because you're lovely,
And my star commands me,

Not, my sweet good, through hope I’ll gain

Anything but pain.

And if you showed pity at any time

For these eyes of mine,

I’d expect nothing for all my crying

But still more crying.

Nor, though you hear the ardent sighs

That I scatter to the winds, will my

Heart hope anything from you will flow

Other than sorrow.

Let me only love, and look at you,

And then let me sigh for you,

Since pain, sorrow, crying are the gifts I see,

For all my loyalty.

Torquato Tasso (1544 - 1595)

The Lady you see in my collage is a painting by Angnolo Brozino (1503-1572) called Florentine Noblewoman With Gloves. I gave her another background and a new meaning. Below you can see the original painting:
