It's National Black Dog Day! I'm excited to help raise awareness of pups like me who get overlooked because we have black fur! My siblings got adopted before me because they're chocolate, so I know how it feels to be left behind! Open your heart and adopt a black dog! Peace, Love~Hope 💙🐾 #dogs

Joseph Stella : The Palm (Herons), 1926 Pastel on paperboard 43-1/2 × 32-5/8 in | 110.5 × 82.9 cm Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Smithsonian Institution) in Washington, D.C. Further info in the alt text 👇
While widely celebrated for his dynamic industrial and futuristic depictions of New York City (such as the Brooklyn Bridge), Stella also held a profound, spiritual fascination with the natural world.

The painting integrates rhythmic, symmetrical palm structures and majestic waterbirds.

Rather than relying on raw realism, Stella infuses the canvas with a magical, dreamlike quality. It bridges sharp modernist geometry with elements of surrealism and traditional folk art symmetry.

For Stella, these lush botanical and avian studies were a deeply spiritual endeavor. He aimed to elevate everyday flora and fauna into symbols of paradise, innocence, and wonder

You've seen fireworks that look like jellyfish, but what about a jellyfish that looks like fireworks? The E/V Nautilus filmed this rare Halitrephes maasi jellyfish glowing like a firework at a depth of 4,019 feet (1,225 meters) off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. (📷: Ocean Exploration Trust)

An old monochrome film shot of Seattle’s Space Needle on a rainy night. It was raining hard, but I wanted the shot, so raindrops fell on the lens, creating this effect of the lights dancing around it in the dark. It’s a grainy old shot, but I’ve always loved it.

A #painting from the west of Ireland. "Pine Island" is a subject I've painted more than once ever since I first saw Derryclare Lough when I was a teenager on a bus in Connemara and, well, it's probably best not to go into a story of love in such a short space for posting. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear #Art
Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. Lake with islet of orange and grey and olive ground, from which grow a couple of dozen Scots Pines with tall trunks and no branches or foliage until high up where there are lateral dark green blotches. Close behind is a strip of land, of orange and pink bog with grey rocks, that slopes down to the lake which runs across the full width of the painting. Behind are several rocky jagged, almost pyramidal, blue mountains, their shade of blue being lighter as the mountains recede. The reflections of the mountains and the trees can be seen in water in blues and blacks rippling diagonally. The sky is pale blue with a feint white cloud on the left half, also reflected in the water in diagonal rippling strokes. A small amount of land of grasses of orange and green peeps up along the bottom edge. Signed bottom right in dark blue, Liam Daly
