My other half's hair is "strawberry blonde" as he insists on referring to it, but it's really a mixture of bronze, copper, gold and now the odd steely grey hair at the sides. I tried painting him once; it was an interesting thing, trying to get his hair right! <br /><br />There are a good few contemporary Gothic models with very Pre-Raphaelite looks, especially Ophidia, and Sheridan's Art in Belgium did some incredible photographs that bring to mind Rosetti paintings, with her modeling (I suggest you look them up) and I had to buy prints.The HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-34938862963429316022015-09-25T19:15:38.292+01:002015-09-25T19:15:38.292+01:00It comes as a surprise that red-haired men are sup...It comes as a surprise that red-haired men are supposed to be unattractive. I've always thought the opposite. Also, I'd like to know what part henna played in making some of those beauties red-headed, as it was commonly used in Victorian times, even to make your nails red.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147916047948858714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-10946559603516378082015-09-13T19:35:53.590+01:002015-09-13T19:35:53.590+01:00Thanks m'dear, that's fascinating.

But one day it became apparent that the unmarried girl Gordina (of Sien) was pregnant. By Van Gogh, the local pastor claimed. From that time on, the pastor payed the wages for the models, asking to ignore Van Gogh.<br />Van GOgh left Nuenen and Gordina gave birth to a boy, a red head just like Vincent... <br /><br />A nice tale to share, I heared it in a <a href="http://www.npo.nl/artikelen/krabbe-zoekt-van-gogh-op-npo-2" rel="nofollow"> televisionshow that's tracking Van GOgh </a>. <br />Thank's for your nice posts Kirsty, I love'm ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-56487033598671930472015-09-13T16:28:31.844+01:002015-09-13T16:28:31.844+01:00I have a weakness for a redhead, hence the russet-...I have a weakness for a redhead, hence the russet-y Mr Walker, who is the least hot-tempered person I know!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.Kirsty Stonell Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342964877965021654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441164155286448763.post-6648856966777346782015-09-13T12:09:31.584+01:002015-09-13T12:09:31.584+01:00This looks a most interesting book.

I am not a redhead but have on occasion become one, and been endlessly interested in how red hair has been seen through the eyes of artists and history. Like you find red haired men attractive too.
