Hey everyone,

OK, so who would not love to have a Renoir in their art collection, I know I would, so I have created a set for you called "Renoirs".  There are a total of nine paintings in this set, I have only shown two in my image as I did not want to loose the detail on them.  These are framed with a Louis XV frame, and have two colour channels (inner and outer frame).

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (184 - 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style.  As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said the "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau.

These are two tile paintings and are base game compatible.

Hope you like!

Hi all,

Today I have another request from my request page for some Seurat paintings.  This is a set of nine paintings that are two tile in size.

Georges Pierre Seurat (1859 - 1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman.  He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising the technique of painting known as pointillism.  His large-scale work "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-Impressionism. It is on of the icons of late 19th century painting.

Seurat died in Paris on March 29, 1891 at the age young age of 31, the cause  of death is uncertain.

These are base game compatible.

As always, I hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone,

• Tale of the Little Little Old Woman

In 1894 Beskow started to contribute to the children's magazine Jultomten.  Overall, she would publish some forty books with her own text and images.  Beskow frequently combined reality with elements from the fairy tale world.  She became one of the most well know of all Swedish children's book artists.  Many of her books became classic and are continually reprinted.

Hey everyone,

Today I have a set of nine wonderful paintings called "Boats".

Boats have served as short-distance transportation since early times.  The earliest boats have been predicted to be logboats.  The oldest boats to be found by archaeological excavation are logboats from around 7,000 - 10,000 years ago.  The oldest recovered boat in the world is the Pesee canoe; it is a dugout or hollowed tree trunk from a Pinus sylvestris.  It was constructed somewhere between 8,200 and 7,600 B.C.

Boats played a very important part in the commerce between the Indus Valley Civilization and Mesopotamia.  The accounts of historians Herodotus, Pliny the Elder, and Strabo suggest that boats were being used for commerce and traveling.

This is a two tile painting and is base game compatible.

Hello all,

Today I have a set of three watercolor paintings.  This set is called "Watercolors".

Watercolor painting (also aquarelle from French), is a painting method.  A watercolor is the medium or the resulting artwork in which the paints are made of pigments suspended in a water-soluble vehicle.  The traditional and most common support for watercolor paintings is paper, other supports include papyrus, bark papers, plastics, vellum or leather, fabric, wood, and canvas.  Watercolors are usually transparent, and appear luminous because the pigments are laid down in a relatively pure form with few fillers obscuring the pigment colors.

This is a two tile painting, and is base game compatible.

Hope you enjoy.

Hi everyone,

Today I have an update for you of nine William-Adolphe Bouguereau paintings.  This was a request from Janice....thanks for the request Janice, I just may have to do a few more sets; wonderful paintings!!

William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) was a French academic painter and traditionalist.  In his realistic genre paintings he used mythological themes, making modern interpretations of classical subjects, with an emphasis on the female human body.  During his life he enjoyed significant popularity in France and the United States, was given numerous official honors, and received top prices for his work.  As the quintessential salon painter of his generation, he was reviled by the Impressionist avant-garde.  By the early twentieth century, Bouguereau and his art feel out of favor with the public, due in part to changing tastes.  in the 1980's, a revival of interest in figure painting led to a rediscovery of Bouguereau and his work.  Throughout the course of his life, Bouguereau executed 822 know finished paintings, although the whereabouts of many are still unknown.

This is a two tile painting that is base game compatible.

Hi all,

As mentioned in my previous post regarding the new sculpture in the new Sims Set "Palace of Versailles", I was a bit disappointed in the "Commissioned By Kings" painting that is actually a sculpture.  After making the paintings I thought this would also make a nice mirror, so this is what I have for you called "Commissioned by Kings - Rococo Mirror".

This is a two tile mirror with full credit to EA Games for the mesh, and also has 3 colour channels.

Hope you enjoy!
