Saint Cecilia is a painting by John William Waterhouse, completed in 1895. It depicts Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music, seated with a lyre in a contemplative pose. Waterhouse's signature Pre-Raphaelite style is evident in the artwork's intricate details, vibrant colours, and romanticised atmosphere. The painting captures the ethereal beauty and spiritual essence associated with the saint, embodying the fusion of art and devotion characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

It is finally the end of the Year!!!! It has definitely been a year. I have felt that this has both gone forever and flown right by. This year, I got a new job, went on a research trip and got my website up and running; I am absolutely exhausted. It has been a lot, and next year will be even busier. YAY!!! As the year ends, I have been thinking more about my Goals for next year and have compiled a list of both professional and personal things to accomplish. 

  1. Finish my PhD.
  2. Grow Art History By Me's social media presence.
  3. Keep working on my novel.
  4. Do daily walks.
  5. Maintain Skincare Hair and teeth routines.
  6. More TATTOOS
  7. Start D&D

I guess we will see how it goes. Wish me luck and Happy New Year!!!

Love, Me
