J is for John Everett Millais
My favorite artist, not including my husband.
Millais was a prominent Victorian painter, a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, and a bit of a hero for parent-artists, as he had seven children. :) His life story is fascinating, but I really can't do it justice here. (He will almost definitely make it into one of my books someday...)
But since a picture is worth a thousand words, after all, here are some better insights into his soul:
