JUMP START Your Love-Life
Do you get bored with your mate?
Do you find yourself home every Friday and Saturday night? Do you need more excitement in your life? Is your sex life suffering?
Does your T.V. get more attention then you do?
If you answered YES to any of these questions then it's time to give your love life a much needed jump start. Now, I'm not talking about wrapping yourself up in plastic wrap and waiting by the door when he gets home. More subtle things can make a difference.
**Make Dinner and eat at the table! No, not in front of the T.V. tonight. This stimulates conversation that you don't get with outside distractions like the television. A candle or two on the table wouldn't hurt either.
**Have a date night. If once a week just isn't possible, make it every other week. Even once a month to go out on a date is better than not going out at all. Renting movies is fine for any other night, but not date night. You have to get the two of you out of the monotony of the four walls you live in. Have a drink or a cup of coffee together, anything, so long as your together. **Talk to each other. Not about the kids or the bills, but about each other. They other person DOES NOT know what you are thinking if you don't tell them. Don't be a mind-reader!
**Buy Satin Sheets...Or any other thing different for the boudoir. Keep in mind that the colors red and peach are romantic colors. Add some of these in the bedroom.
**Initiate Sex! If you're not the one who usually does this it can be a big turn on for your partner. Just pounce on them when they get home! It works every time!
I don't believe that love dies, but I do believe it can go very stale as time goes by. Relationships take work and most people just don't realize that. Bring some of the romance back into your lives. And hopefully you'll be happily ever after!
Good Luck!
Before the advent of the camera, portraits were created to have an historic record of a person or event. A portrait is usually a pictorial representation of an individual. In the hands of a gifted artist it becomes a means to convey something about the person through objects and ideas. At ARTinaClick.com we feature many important portrait artists. Rembrandt was one of the first artist's to capture the inner essence of the sitter. It is in these psychological profiles, particularly his self-portraits, that we begin to understand the artist. Primitive portraits give us a glimpse of life in the early 19th Century. Although we do not know who painted the portraits there is often a record of the date and the sitters. Unlike the traditional portraiture of the day these folk art paintings are of ordinary people. The compositions, most often of children, include favorite objects, costumes of the day and detailed backgrounds. When the camera was invented to record the likeness of an individual, artists sought to use portraiture as a vehicle for expression. French painter Henri Matisse's portraits of his wife are experiments in Fauve. Pablo Picasso's cubist inventions had experiments in portraiture as well. In Girl Before a Mirror, Seated Woman and The Dream we understand the flattening of cubist space as all of the facial features are visible simultaneously. Perhaps one of the best known portrait is Van Gogh Self-Portrait with Bandaged ear. In this painting and in the portait of his friend the postman Roulin, Van Gogh achieves the ultimate goal of portraiture, to teach us about the artist and the sitter and most importantly about ourselves. Today our fascination with celebrities has made images of Elvis, Marilyn and The Beatles icons of popular culture.
