Celebrating the beauty of life, the glory of art, and the miraculous wonders of humanity, while declaring war on fusspots and prisspots everywhere, and having a lot of fun in the process.
About Me
- Jeffrey Smith
- "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

These paintings of medieval wars are fantastic. Looking at the traditional painting techniques used reminds me so much of those times when we were studying the works of classical masters like michelangelo, ven eyk, reubens, and da vinci.
