William Howard Taft - William Valentine Schevill – Boeiende introductie In het uitgebreide panorama van de kunstgeschiedenis onderscheiden sommige werken zich door hun vermogen om niet alleen de fysieke verschijning van een onderwerp vast te leggen, maar ook de essentie, het karakter en het tijdperk. De kunstdruk William Howard Taft - William Valentine Schevill is een perfect voorbeeld hiervan. Dit portret van de 27e president van de Verenigde Staten, gemaakt door de Amerikaanse kunstenaar William Valentine Schevill, overstijgt de eenvoudige voorstelling en wordt een ware venster op de politieke en sociale geschiedenis van zijn tijd. Via dit werk wordt de kijker uitgenodigd om onder te dompelen in de wereld van een man wiens beslissingen de vroege 20e eeuw hebben gevormd, terwijl hij de technische virtuositeit van de kunstenaar bewondert. Stijl en uniekheid van het werk De stijl van Schevill wordt gekenmerkt door een realistische aanpak, waarbij elke penseelstreek zorgvuldig lijkt te zijn overwogen om eer te betonen aan de persoonlijkheid van zijn model. In dit werk zijn de kleurnuances vakkundig gekozen om de waardigheid en ernst van Taft te benadrukken, terwijl er toch een zekere menselijke warmte behouden blijft. De details van het gezicht, de textuur van de kleding en de zorgvuldig uitgewerkte achtergrond getuigen van een technische beheersing die de reputatie van de kunstenaar bepaalt. Dit portret beperkt zich niet tot een eenvoudige voorstelling, maar maakt deel uit van een dialoog tussen kunst en geschiedenis, waarbij elk visueel element bijdraagt aan het opbouwen van een boeiend verhaal. De belichting, houding en uitdrukkingen van Taft zijn evenzovele artistieke keuzes die de subtiliteiten van zijn karakter onthullen, en de kijker een meeslepende en emotionele ervaring bieden. De kunstenaar en zijn invloed William Valentine Schevill, geboren aan het einde van de 19e eeuw, wist zich te vestigen in de wereld van de Amerikaanse kunst dankzij zijn onmiskenbare talent en passie voor portretten. Opgeleid in de grootste ateliers, ontwikkelde hij een stijl die traditie en moderniteit combineert, beïnvloed door Europese meesters terwijl hij geworteld bleef in de Amerikaanse realiteit. Zijn ontmoeting met politieke en culturele persoonlijkheden uit zijn tijd heeft zijn artistieke visie verrijkt, waardoor hij werken kon creëren die verder gaan dan eenvoudige voorstelling en getuigenissen worden van de geschiedenis. Schevill wist de geest van zijn tijd te vangen, en zijn werk blijft vele hedendaagse kunstenaars inspireren, wat de belangrijkheid van de portretkunst onderstreept.Shipping Notes

Sam + Percy 💕
Format: Kindle
Every Summer After is a perfect summer read and although it had been in my TBR for so long, I really enjoyed it. I’m a sucker for second chance romance and childhood friends to lovers and I was captivated immediately. Their friendship blossomed into a cute young love romance until one impulsive decision during a vulnerable moment lead to the downfall of Sam & Percy’s relationship.
Now over a decade later, Percy makes the trip back to the lake to attend a funeral and memories flood back of her summers with Sam. But does time heal all wounds? Read to find out.
I really love young love romances because they are innocent with heighten emotions, personal growths and can be extremely messy. Not to mention the angst that keeps me wanting to read more and this book definitely kept me engaged.

Warm Blanket Read
Format: Paperback
Wow, I didn’t know how much I needed this and I inhaled it. I needed to feel a bit of summer. I needed a small town. What I didn’t know I needed was a big love story. This was perfect and escapist. A perfect read to make you feel good and characters to swoon over. Can’t wait for the show now.

Heartfelt and Nostalgic
Format: Paperback
What can I say to effectively capture the beauty, sweetness, and depth of this story?
Sam and Percy’s story is sweet and nostalgic, and it made me feel like I was a teenager again right along with them. It brought back memories of my own teenage years spent camping at various lakes with family and friends; memories I hadn’t thought about in awhile.
Barry’s Bay is a character in its own right as well, and I had such a vivid picture in my mind of what it must have looked like.
There were moments when I laughed out loud, and moments that made me cry. The exploration of guilt and what it does to a person and the ones they love was so emotional and real.
And the sweetness and love between Percy and Sam, despite all their mistakes and miscommunications, is something that will stick with me for a long time.
There is so much heart in this story. I love a good friends-to-lovers romance, and have read quite a few, but this is easily one of the best.

Cute little read
Format: Paperback
I thought this book was a good quick read!
Plot: 4⭐️ I won’t spoil it but there is a trope I wasn’t fond of in this toward the end of the book, BUT it’s a very realistic response to the situation. (I am not making it okay in ANY means). I do wish there would have been a little more fun memories between them as friends.
Characters: I think Carly did a great job keeping the characters realistic. Yes the FMC parents had some money but it was a refresher that nobody was spoiled and the MMC earned his way into medical school.

John Candy References!
Format: Kindle
Persephone is thirty years old and she just got dumped. She didn’t really care, he didn’t mean much to her and she never really let him in, even after seven months. She gets a phone call that has her racing back to her past, the small town of Barry’s Bay, and back into the life of the one who got away… Sam Florek.
For six summers Percy and Sam were inseparable. The friendship naturally blossomed and grew into something more and he became the man she never wanted to live without, until it fell apart in a splash.
Percy returns for Sam’s mothers funeral and all the feelings come rushing back, their connection burning as brightly as it had twelve years ago. But Percy has a secret, a reason for why she broke up with him, and until she tells him, they can never be together.
Told in dual timelines, we unravel the mystery of the once in a lifetime love story between two people who were as fated as a couple could be.
First and foremost, there are not one but TWO John Candy references in this book. He is a late Canadian actor who was popular in the 80s. Most will know him as the Polka Player from home alone but I know him from so much more. Trust me, he deserves this paragraph of recognition and I praise the author for including him as he is slowly being forgotten.
Now onto the story.
I loved it. No ifs ands or buts about it. I absolutely love this story. It is a dual timeline, second chance romance and I think it got me out of my reading slump. I finished it in less than 2 days and couldn’t put it down.
The history of the characters, watching them slowly fall in love and come to terms with their feelings. Seeing how they struggle over the long distances and other romances that pop up. It was so well written and it felt like I was watching two people I knew in real life fall for each other. It was so realistic , even the lows had me tearing up but remaining hopeful.
The twist, the reason why they broke up, was predictable. I saw it coming not long into the book but it didn’t take away from the heartache I felt when it was revealed.
I enjoyed that we also got to explore relationships outside of the main love interest. We got to know Percy’s friends and how they interacted with Sam too which was a nice break from the romance and gave depth outside of the love interest.
Great book and I’m so thankful it got recommended to me.
