Challenge of showing a cloudy day, w/ miraculous snowfall, when gold is your sky color of choice. Masolino does his best with Pope Liberio founding the Basilica of S. Maria di Nives. Or, Pope plays mini-golf.

Prehistoric fridge! This approximately 4,000-year-old storage vessel once served as a kind of fridge. It was kept in a pit and sealed with a wooden lid, likely to store perishable food. Unfortunately, there weren't any residues left to tell us exactly what was stored inside. 🧵1/2 📷 me

Two vibrant orange-red fruits of the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) hang from slender, reddish-brown stems against a deep black background. Their rounded surfaces are covered in a distinctive, intricate pattern of tiny, pyramid-like bumps, creating a rich, textured appearance. The warm colours range from bright yellow-orange to deep red, highlighting the fruits’ unique structure and natural beauty. The minimalist composition draws attention to their unusual texture and vivid colours.

Pen and watercolor 

A pack of witches dance around a fire circle summoning a massive demon in the flames. One of our witches is down though, reader. She lets her sisters know that she won’t be continuing the circle. “Gotta sit this one out, sisters,” she says. “Rolled my ankle.” 
 
I played around with adding a lot of detail to this scene (more shadows, trees in the background, etc.) I think the simpler version works but I’m not sure how I feel about the fire demon drawing. I think I like it. Was having trouble getting the composition of the scene set up with a text bubble in the bottom right. I do like the purple against the black dresses and little boots.

Black Cat Looking Straight Ahead by contemporary Japanese artist Toshiyuki Enoki (born 1961).
Positioned squarely in the center of a heavily textured, antiqued golden ground, a jet-black cat sits in erect, motionless composure, staring directly out at the viewer. Its dense dark coat is rendered with meticulous, micro-fine brushwork, giving tactile softness to the chest and ears while contrasting sharply against the coarse, woven grain of the underlying substrate. Two large, luminous amber eyes—framed by thin golden irises and wide, dilated pupils—glow with unblinking intensity, serving as the sole vibrant point of light within the ink-dark silhouette. At the base, a single tail curls smoothly outward across the muted canvas, while in the lower left corner, a bright vermilion and yellow circular seal bearing the artist's mark anchors the lower register.
Painted by contemporary artist Toshiyuki Enoki (born 1961), this work continues Japan’s long-standing painterly fascination with feline mystery, drawing a direct lineage from Hishida Shunshō’s iconic 1910 Nihonga masterpiece Black Cat (Kuroki Neko) and the whimsical cats of Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Enoki, trained in traditional Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) techniques, silk painting, and lacquer restoration, employs a distinctive technique involving natural mineral pigments (iwanogu), gold leaf, and layered glazes on textured canvas or hemp paper. His unique monozukuri (artisanal mastery) fuses traditional Japanese material culture with surreal, otherworldly sensibilities, transforming a domestic subject into a timeless, talismanic icon that feels both ancient and modern.
