This natural therapy reduced wrinkles and scarring, rejuvenated prematurely aged skin and revitalized skin tone. Although rosehip oil has been touted a “secret” by clever marketing departments, it was used to thwart wrinkles centuries ago, by ancient Mayans and…

The aroma of ledum essential oil reminds me of the forest after a summer shower. It is strongly woody, a little wild and herbal, and just a bit astringent. A member of the heather family, this aromatic herb originates in North America and is also known as Labrador tea. For centuries, this plant was used in folk medicine as a tonic and an early treatment for colds, scurvy, and kidney issues. About Ledum Essential Oil Ledum oil is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Rhododendron…

artwork. "Gray Tree" Contour Lines are wavy and thick which bring out the form of a tree. I believe this was Piet Mondrian's goal to make it a simple and understandable painting. The caption of the artwork, the painting itself, and the colors he used to create the tree are simple. Value and Contrast come together in this painting. The Value is the background going from a light gray background to the black and dark gray tree, which bring out the contrast in the tree. Mondrian did a great job and…

O’Keeffe once said that she wanted to give her moment to the world by painting what she sees, so that people will be surprised and take the time to look…

Another similar painting done by Derain titled “Winding Road L’ Estaque” has some differences, but in many ways is similar to “The Trees”. The medium of this work is oil on canvas and is 4'2.5" feet in length by 6'4.5" feet in width. Derain went about painting this image in a way that is stylized because the objects in the image are painted in Derain’s perspective and are not naturalistic in nature. Although some of the figures are abstract, they are all representational and are recognizable.…
