Theo Jansenโs Strandbeests are a mesmerizing fusion of physics and art, evolving from PVC pipes into wind-powered "creatures" that walk the coastline with hypnotic, lifelike precision.
This is my #watercolour painting inspired by a holiday at Hayle in #Cornwall. I love the light. I have framed it and is being exhibited currently with some other at #Attenborough Nature Centre in Nottinghamshire. Well worth a visit just for the wonderful walks there.
@philosophybites It would be Essays by Montaigne (if I were cleverer) but I would cheat and enjoy Sarah Bakewell's excellent book How to Live. My bedside companion for years.
Things have just got a lot more difficult . Hereโs what I think . I had no control over what just happened . None . But I do have control over how I will react to it . And I am not going to give up on the beautiful and the good , the grip on my dreams just got tighter .
@AlisonMoyet She is a genuinely lovely pundit - met her at my son's sixth form over a decade ago and she hasn't changed. Saw you too at Leeds Castle, and you were wondrous. Came for Van and loved you.
