may you always be the type of person who points out cows in a field, watches bees on flowers and gets excited when the moon looks extra big.

I’m in love with this Japanese word, Komorebi.

It captures not just the visual phenomenon but the serene, fleeting beauty and sense of wonder.

Hidden in a Parisian courtyard is La Maison du Pastel, the world's oldest pastel maker.

With a 300-year-old legacy of making pastels by hand, the shop served clients like Edgar Degas.

Two gentle pretty pieces from this artist.
Always knows what we want to see. Her attention to detail is lovely and the colours joyful

Every time I see this perfect scene in SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, I not only weep, but I am desperate to see the camera pull back and reveal Ang Lee and his crew hysterically sobbing too.

Shakespeare's Flowers is finally finished!
The full list of subjects is: columbine/convolvulus, pansies, violets, ragged robin, honeysuckle (woodbine), wild rose (eglantine), dasies and willow. Taken from Hamlet and A Midsummer-night's Dream. The filigree is in gold thread, worked in the early Anglo Saxon/medieval technique of surface couching. I love this technique, it feels like a whisper from another age.
More to come? I thought I might try a different muse ... how about Gainsborough's Flowers?

There are some brilliant examples of fashion illustration in the collection, including this advert that appeared in the Marks & Spencer Magazine, 1932.

Reading will forever be one of my favorite hobbies because it’s like bed rotting, but with moral superiority.

i feel very obligated to let all the nerds know that there is a free game like geoguesser where you guess the location of origin and time period for art and historical artifacts. really high level:

هاکنی تا ۸۸ سالگی عمر کرد و تا آخرین لحظه با دست‌های لرزون و لاغر از نقاشی کشیدن دست نکشید. حالا به جای اینکه از رفتنش غوصه بخوریم، تا هنوز بهاره به شکوفه‌ها و درخت‌ها و سبزی‌ها نگاه کنیم شاید دنیا رو به رنگ اون دیدیم.
