Long hair in art (from my Facebook page)

Art inspires...and those of us who want to grow long hair need all the inspiration we can get.  A guy on TV recently said that his long beard would signal to the ladies that he's a patient man.  This is also true about growing out long hair.  And you know in this technologically fast world, this is rough.  I need patience!  So, here are some #TBT pictures from my Facebook page.  I try to post weekly, however, I just got back from vacation and our regular desktop is down....so much for being technologically fast, ay?  Now, to go back to a time when painters made long hair iconic....



La Inmaculada ConcepciĆ³n de El Escorial by Bartolome Esteban Murillo (1660-1665)


 Reminds me of Florence!  Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli (1486)

I loved this piece in high school!  Got a poster copy from our local record store, Salzer's in Ventura.  The Mermaid (1910) by Howard Pyle.
