Isabel Bishop, Hearn's Department Store—Fourteenth Street Shoppers, 1927. Oil on canvas.
Bishop’s Hearn’s Department Store—Fourteenth Street Shoppers, 1927, painted in tandem with her enrollment in Kenneth Hayes Miller’s mural painting class at the Art Students League, clearly applies formal Renaissance composition and flat perspective to the very contemporary subject matter of the urban middle-class shoppers dressed in the latest fashions that frequented the Union Square shopping district for the latest deals. While fellow Fourteenth Street School artists Kenneth Hayes Miller, Reginald Marsh, and Raphael Soyer frequently depicted the “New Women” of Union Square through a highly sexualized lens of judgment, desire, and sometimes pity, Isabel Bishop approaches her subjects as peers. Ephemeral movements, exchanges, and moments of solitude are the primary subject matter of the paintings, all depicted in a dynamic style of painting that is unfinished and tenuous but somehow glowing. Even in the paintings depicting office girls in a moment of relaxation while taking a quick 15, the energy and hope of upward mobility in the face of the mundane are apparent in the brushwork. Isabel Bishop’s painting style and subject choice are uniquely responsive to the built environment of Fourteenth Street and Union Square.

#bornonthisday Isabel Bishop (March 3, 1902 – February 19, 1988) was an American painter and graphic artist. Bishop studied at the Art Students League of New York, where she would later become an instructor. She was most notable for her scenes of everyday life in Manhattan, as a member of the loosely-defined ‘Fourteenth Street School’ of artists, grouped in that precinct. Union Square features prominently in her work, which mainly depicts female figures. Bishop’s paintings won the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, among other distinctions. Via Wikipedia

@fiercehearts sent: [ RESTART ] our muses are supposed to be cleaning up in the shower after sex, but receiver starts to finger sender.
It was impossible for Kate’s mind not to wander as she watched Isabelle lather her body with a sweet smelling soap. Even if they’d just had sex, she could feel the familiar ache of desire forming in her stomach once more. Gods, Isabelle was so beautiful. Kate had never met a woman like her and the attraction - the desire - she felt for the shadowhunter knew no bounds. She bit down on her lower lip as Isabelle turned away from her, under the spray of the shower. Kate let her eyes roam the other woman’s body as the water rinsed the soap from her skin. Once it was gone, she moved behind Isabelle and wrapped her arms around her waist.
“You make me crazy,” she murmured against the side of Isabelle’s neck. One hand rested splayed against her stomach before slipping down between her legs. Kate kissed Isabelle’s neck as her fingers slipped between her folds, teasing her clit slowly.

The hazardous job of being a bishop
The hazardous job of being a bishop
It is no fun being a bishop these days.
After the recent resignations of Cardinal Philippe Barbarin of Lyon and Archbishop Michel Aupetit of Paris, and then the controversial legacies left by Archbishop Jean-Pierre Cattenoz in Avignon and Bishop Emmanuel Lafont in Cayenne (French Guyana), as well as the severe sanction that forced the Diocese of Fréjus-Toulon to postpone the presbyteral…

Thank you babe 💕 Love this idea. Please send more like it if you have any 👀
*Older by Isabel LaRosa starts playing*
It takes him a bit to warm up to it
He feels a little gross
He could be your dad
He doesn't want to feel like he's preying on you
But after the millionth time of you reminding him that you're a grown woman and can be with whoever you want
Telling him all of the times guys your own age had treated you like shit
Bailed out on you
Blew you off
He can't help but feel like you deserve to have a man that will actually take care of you
Protect you
Be a partner
He agrees and the rest is history
He takes you out for dates multiple times a month
Buys you gifts
And flowers
He would do this regardless of your age, but he pays for you to get your nails done however you want
And loves to get pictures of them once they're done
He thinks your emojis are cute when you text him
He texts with them too but sometimes uses them with the wrong meaning
Don't send him the eggplant
He'll think you want Italian for dinner
He doesn't like the looks he gets when he's out and about with you
He hates the looks of either disgust or pity
They either think he's a creep
Or he must be your sugar daddy
But your love and affection soothe the sting
He enjoys teaching you random things that you might not know
He also likes experimenting with you
Because at the end of the day, he's learned as much from you as you have from him
