How do I create an image?
There's no single answer to this question, but I can offer a few suggestions. Professional textile designers frequently use Photoshop to create or prepare their designs. They might start with a scan of a painting or drawing or they might compose the image in Photoshop. The pros also sometimes us...

2014 in the rear-view mirror
If 2014 were a road trip, I'd be dizzy from the speed and velocity of it! Whoosh! For the second year in a row, I've had a significant show of my work in the fall to work toward. In 2013, it was my Iceland-inspired paintings at the Horace Williams House. This past fall, it was work on a floral t...

In two recent posts I examined a largely unpublished album of 18th century paintings associated with the Deccan and with the Maratha courts and prior to those posts a newly acquired portrait of Ikhlas Khan, the African minister of the Bijapur sultans. In this new post I want to look at some oth...

Some paintings by the 17th century Safavid artist Muhammad Zaman
Perhaps the best known of all the British Library’s Persian manuscripts is Or. 2265, a copy of the Khamsah (‘Five Poems’) by the 12th century poet Nizami, copied and illustrated for the Safavid ruler Shah Tahmasp (ruled 1524-76). In a recent codicological study of this manuscript Priscilla Souce...
