'The Landing in Summer.' Mary Dawson Elwell emerged on the British art scene as a painter of interiors, or more accurately, 'portrait interiors,' of her Yorkshire home in the 1930s. Her watchwords are stillness, silence, containment, privacy, meditation, illumination.

@dougiedonnelly @BBCScotland You should do the cup final every year. It would bring all the generations together and elevate the event.

[Robbie McIntosh @robbiemacktor]

@_DIGB That's absolutely superb.

@MsLMG79 It's utterly heartbreaking.

@MrAndrewCotter I'm so saddened. At 15, Scott put me on my back at a youth rugby day at Murrayfield (my - still - unperfected dummy did not fool him). At 53, he chivvied me along when I was jogging (and flagging!) around Inverleith park. A powerful and positive presence. What a huge loss.

Harold Williamson's 'Picnic,' (1938)
can be read on multiple levels; it might be seen as emphasis on continuity, or an erotically coming of age picture? 'Realism,' as Wyndham Lewis once said, 'is a fine, manly, practical word that appeals to everyone as safe and satisfactory.'

@Music_Goddesss Thank you! I've just scrolled back through all of your Building Blocks and spent a wonderful hour. I look forward to number 8.

@MickPuck To my continued delight (and embarrased astonishment - I'm 55, after all) I only recently realised it was JB who was lead vocal on these. Somehow this has opened up a whole new level of appreciation - esp The White Room.

@JimSpenceDundee @BBCRadio2 Ha! I was just looking for Paul, Jim, and the algorithm led me here. Everyones left the kitchen table and I've just poured myself another (smallish) glass of red. I shall continue to avert my gaze from the mountain of dishes that lie ahead. What a show - every single week.

@OldRangersVideo @RangersFC I hadn't heard of him (slightly before my time) but JUST LOOK at his patter. Magic.

@sid_lambert I actually think this is my favourite goal ever. There is so much crazy movement throughout. I'm astonished that it all came off!

"I'm a photo-journalist who became an artist. I make prints by hand, I spend time on putting books together so they look beautiful. These things are important. They are evidence of the creative life you have lived. You can hold them in your hands. They're solid."

@dougiedonnelly What an excellent thing to have done. You're a significant figure in our national sporting culture, Dougie. Good on you!

when driving around i often think about the paintings of charles sheeler (1883 - 1965). many of the things we presently see as visual noise, he found beautiful and dedicated his life to capturing:
