4. Give tangible form to the unknown.

| William Adolphe Bouguereau Une âme au ciel (Translated title: A Soul in Heave) 1878 ~ Oil on canvas |
Art helps us see things we can only imagine. Artists have been taking us into the unknown since the beginning. I chose this painting by Bouguereau as my example. He depicts angels carrying a young deceased woman into Heaven. This painting has always appealed to me since the passing of my sister who was about the same age as Bouguereau’s subject.
Stay tuned as I share my thoughts and examples on function #5... Give tangible form to feelings and ideas.

| "A Pondering Heart" after Bouguereau... 7x5" Oil on Canvas Board by Bernie Rosage Jr. I was inspired by Bouguereau's painting, "Le Baiser" and Luke 2:19 to produce this cropped version as a head study.... "But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart"... |
