After WW1, John Nash lived at Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire in South East England and worked with his brother Paul on their war paintings at a farm near Chalfont St Peter. He relaxed by painting the local landscape including this picture of 'Kop Hill, Princes Risborough.'

Artists rarely paint views from studios other than their own. In this work from 1807 by the German landscape painter Carl Ludwig Kaaz the view through an open window, without any figures was rare for an oil painting at the time.

Another example of why I gave up on becoming an academic, by the way.

I finished it! A hit or miss poet for me, poem by poem. Sometimes really great, other times corny. It is what it is.

I have acquired something important: a bookshelf! Someone left it on the street, dirty and forgotten. Cleaned it up and made use of it! 📖 📕 📘 📗

It might not be a great piece of art but it has something about it. This particular door was painted by George Folingsbury at Schloss Hohenaschau a 12thC medieval ring castle in Aschau in Bavaria, Germany, in the 1870s.

Watched this happen in real time at my school, CSULB. Just a disaster. I even filled out a survey on AI saying everyone uses it to cheat and it's destroying our school, but apparently nobody cared

Popped into the British Museum to see my boo: I’ve been visiting the horse head of Selene (inspiration for chess pieces everywhere!) for over 40 years, but the older I get the more sure I am that she should be in Greece…

Painted at the very beginning of the 20thC, this work is among Klimt’s most abstract of paintings. Depicting the waters of the Attersee (Atter Lake) in Austria, it marks a key moment in his career, as he pioneered a new and distinctive approach to landscape painting.

So far this book is hilarious and reminds me of a particularly bad group home and partial hospitalization program I was in. Not even too much of an exaggeration. It was a strange orientalist one where a man lectured us daily on Chinese astrology and such. Very similar to this elderly home LOL
