Frog Decoy
Smithsonian American Art Museum and its Renwick Gallery
Artist: Unidentified
Luce Center Label: North American hunters have used decoys for centuries. Native Americans made decoys from reeds, clay, and stuffed skins to lure migrating birds within range of their arrows or spears. European pioneers adopted this technique, and by the early nineteenth century both commercial and sport hunters used carved wooden decoys. Craftsmen shape and decorate decoys either to imitate the desired bird’s prey or “trick” them into thinking it is safe to land.

Art - Web Weaving Resource
To return to the main Web Weaving Resources post, click here.
Original Artists:
DAWNING CROW | Kathy Lam - Charcoal, ink, and watercolor illustrations of whimsical animals. Occasional sculpture as well!
Hannah Lock Illustration - Bright colored pencil drawings on a range of topics, from animals to people to concepts.
herearesomedrawings | Dan Huston - Abstract colored pencil pieces with a great variety in shape and color.
Peter Solarz - Photography, abstract paintings, and sculpture - a huge and very beautiful body of work.
tmantra | Gouache & Ink - Gorgeous, almost fairy-tale-like paintings and illustrations, mostly in - you guessed it - gouache and ink.
The Shitpost Calligrapher | Mia - Shitposts and other humorous nonsense written in fancy calligraphy.
Secondary Source Art Blogs
painting after painting - Painting, sculpture, craft, and graphic design from history to present day. More varied than Colossal - not every piece is a 'wow', which is sometimes what you need.
Colossal - Well-curated posts about art, photos, and culture. Very mixed-media.
Comparative Tarot - Assorted Tarot cards (often from Behance and always well-sourced/linked)
Historic Art Collections
Collections, Smithsonian Institution - The full collections of the Smithsonian and all of its sub-collections. A bit hard to navigate, but an absolutely massive collection across all imaginable topics.
Collection of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum - One of those sub-collections, this website is easier to search and often has more background info. Most finds are 1950s-present, and you'll find many patterns and objects here, not just illustrative art.
American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery - Another subset of the Smithsonian collection, this has a lot of classic paintings and drawings from pre-1900 and before.
Artvee - Massive database of public-domain artwork! Great search feature, and they also have an option to view modern/ non-public-domain art in their collection.

For when you can't decide between #FishFriday and #FrogFriday:
David Gilhooly (American, 1943-2013)
Merfrog and her Pet Fish, 1979
white earthenware & glazes, 7 x 6 x 7 3⁄8 in. (17.8 x 15.2 x 18.7 cm)
Smithsonian American Art Museum & Renwick Gallery 2007.47.12
"David Gilhooly made his first ceramic frog during a friendly mug-making competition among classmates at the University of California–Davis. This inspired the artist to create a whole civilization composed entirely of frogs, ranging from Napoleon-inspired frog busts to frog-Egyptian gods. Gilhooly originally thought about making pigs, but decided not to, stating: "The trouble with making a PigWorld rather than the FrogWorld was that pigs are 'loaded.' That is, people have a lot of negative ideas that are attached to pigs...." In Merfrog and her Pet Fish, Gilhooly refers to one of his favorite themes, fertility, by creating an absurdly voluptuous frog surrounded by devoted singing companions." (Artist's website, www.davidgilhooly.com, January 2006)
