Second (sorta) art blog: @wanderingiphis

Extra note on Asks: I'd also like to mention I have a bit of a background in art. I'm not an artist (sadly), but I am rather knowledgeable about art due to both personal research and academic studies. The bulk of my knowledge is from a college-level art history class. My art history teacher specialized in Italian Renaissance art, she had been to Florence on many occasions, and had connections with a family that owned a Renaissance era chapel whose altar piece we studied in class. She was extremely passionate about the subject and her teaching provided me with an expansive background knowledge of art, art history, history in general and art analysis. All of which helps me provide the same here, so if you want to know something, don't be afraid to ask.

How long have you been painting and creating for now?

I'm not an artist, I just love art. I'm sorta like an art historian and/or art curator (if you can even call me that). My Interest in art started about two years ago, although it really began with my art history class. I had probably the best art history teacher a person can have. She taught me so much about art, and if I wasn't an art lover before I took her class, I definitely was one after!

Thanks for asking! If you have any more questions feel free to ask! 💕

Here's a little Leighton for the road:
