Mood Boards -- Art and Obscure Sorrows

[catko]

For a challenge at gameofcards to do mood boards, and there was talk of color palettes, and feelings, so I tried something with some favorite colorful art and this most amazing site I found, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, wherein...well, here's how he describes it: "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a compendium of invented words written by John Koenig. Each original definition aims to fill a hole in the language—to give a name to emotions we all might experience but don’t yet have a word for." I chose ones that I thought would go with the art. Check out his site; some of the words and definitions are funny and very cool.

The art is, of course, The Kiss by Klimt and Flaming June by Sir Charles Leighton. (Click for bigger.)

My roommate in college LOVED Klimpt. I love these! Beautiful color choices!

Hah, did you ever see that Buffy episode where the vamps were killing off college kids and betting on whether the poster they found was Klimt or ... I forgot what the other one was, maybe Monet.

Thanks!
