This is a new sumi ink and watercolour on paper, "It's Not Safe to Talk". A woman contacted me to say she saw a young bright maple tree surrounded by dead and dying trees as if they were trying to silence it. She heard, "It's not safe to talk!" How I feel! She said keep shining. So I painted it.

I didn't want to wear glasses because I was bullied for it, so I got my first contacts when I was 13 and already at -3. Seeing the world for the first time in full hd was so magical, so unreal.

Mal wieder eine Info zur #Sonnenfinsternis: Die findet bei uns am 12. August ja praktisch zeitgleich mit dem Sonnenuntergang statt. Und darauf folgt die Sternschnuppen-Nacht des Jahres! Es lohnt sich also, nach der Sonnenfinsternis noch länger wach zu bleiben, um die Perseiden zu bewundern.

10 Artists That Hitler Truly Despised Here are ten influential artists whose modernist ideas clashed with Hitler’s rigid aesthetic ideology, leading the Nazi regime to denounce their work as “degenerate.” www.thecollector.com/artists-hitl... #art #history #GermanHistory

Paul Klee’s 1922 oil painting "Red Balloon" shows a bright red, round balloon floating near the top center of the canvas. Surrounding it are squares, rectangles, triangles, and arches. These colorful shapes seem to be a city street. In the bottom left corner, a dark green triangle forms the ground. The painting combines soft colors with bold primary colors.

I remember when Sean Connery won the Oscar for untouchables, and I remember a lot of the conversation at the time was about how he was old now and had never won an Oscar and this was awarded to him as a sort of mercy Oscar while he was still alive. He was 57.
