*Paintings from the Scottish National Gallery

 

These works of art may not necessarily qualify as design, but my love for fine art with intricate details could not resist displaying these beauties! The line of paintings above are from the Landscape Masters section which containing absolutely stunning pieces from nature.

One of the other pieces is a work by Scottish painter, William Bell Scott, with the 1860 piece, Ulna and the Lion, which I am particularly fond of because "Ulna" seems to be almost alive in her expression and pose.

This third piece I enjoy for its classic style, its realism and the appearance that the woman in the painting is staring straight at you--piercing your soul. Her looks also remind me of several actresses.
