Like Pierre Bonnard who had a significant influence on his early work, Alberto Morrocco painted best what was closest to him. Here it is his wife Vera, doing her hair early one Tuesday morning in 1953.

As I work on the portrait of my mother sleeping her way through the last part of her life her favourite song The Sally Gardens comes randomly on my playlist and then a butterfly flies into my studio. We are all so fragile and death walks beside us every day we are alive.

Timeless art from Minoan Crete! Some 3,500 years ago, a Minoan sculptor transformed a piece of ivory into this dynamic and graceful figurine of a bull leaper! From Knossos Palace. Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a small ivory figurine representing a male bull-leaper about to execute a mid-air somersault over a bull’s back. The figurine is balancing on straight arms above which a slim body forms a graceful arch, and legs (one missing), thrust up high into the air, slightly bent at the knees. The pose is somewhat reminiscent of that of a diver, except for the head which is raised and faces forwards rather than tucked between the arms. The figurine measures 28.7 cm. The ivory is now a warm creamy yellow, mottled with brown staining and fine cracks. It is displayed on a modern metal support structure in Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete.

According to the museum ‘It is part of the only three-dimensional depiction of bull-leaping from the Palace of Knossos known to date. It was found together with at least two other ivory figurines and a faience bull’s head. The composition obviously depicts the moment when the athlete leaps over the bull, a scene familiar from Minoan frescoes and seals’

It goes on to say ‘the examination of the group under the microscope showed that the figures preserve traces of red paint, meaning that some features were painted on. They also had long hair made of copper gilt wires attached to the head, while thin pieces of gold foil found together with the statuettes may have been part of their clothing’

Dazzle camouflage or hydro dipping? (Not terms I'd heard of, but what my husband thought of when I showed him). Absolutely adore these shapes & patterns & colours! I see a couple of fish 🐟🐟 Reflections in #CanaryWharf - shot with a long lens & high ISO to make sure the patterns were distinct.

Reflections of buildings in swirly water, with a blue background from the blue sky above. Mostly black and white colours reflected. A couple of dark bits look a bit like fish swimming in a channel.

Oh, no reason.

The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them shouting 'Heil, Spode!' and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer.
What the Voice of the People is saying is: 'Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?

Charles-François Daubigny and Eugène Boudin both made Villerville, a fishing village located between Honfleur and Trouville, familiar to art collectors. This work by Félix Vallotton belongs to a series of four paintings, all dedicated to the same subiect in 1902.

We’ve been waiting ages for these flowers to come out in the garden and finally they did this week (they’re called Canterbury Bells). The flowers are dying very quickly but I noticed something very exciting today - a bunch of little bees having a nap inside them!
