J is for John Everett Millais

My favorite artist, not including my husband.

Sir Isumbras at the Ford

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:

Christ in the House of His Parents

The Order of Release

The Boyhood of Raleigh
