Gustav Klimt @klimtgustav.bsky.social · 1h
In Pine Forest II (1901), Klimt masterfully blends diverse influences. The rhythmic verticality of trunks echoes Vienna Secession's grid style, while mosaic-like brushwork reflects the atmospheric influence of Monet's later works.

October tomorrow, but there were still a few #butterflies in the small bit of NW England I walked though earlier today. (note to self, don't use the brightness compensation setting with Red Admirals cause they just go solid black) More early #insectthursday #butterflies #insects #naturephotography
Sunny closeup of an orange & black painted lady butterfly on a purplish buddleia with various leaves in the background. The butterflies wings are slightly damaged.Side on view of a red admiral feeding on a buddleia. Most of the buddleia bushes around here have turned brown by now, but there's a small area where it was pruned very heavily a couple of months ago & just started flowering again not that long ago, so several butterflies were hanging around there cause it was still a viable source of food.View from above of a Red Admiral with its wings half open/half closed. I screwed up the settings on the phone so it's Very black & some detail has been lost.

Eastern Carpenter Bees stealing nectar from the Azure Sage. Their passionflowers aren't blooming a lot now that the weather is changing, so they have to make do. #bees #nativeplants #BlueTuesday 🌱 #gardening
A carpenter bee is seen in profile clinging to the top of a pale blue salvia flower. She is a large bee with a black head, fuzzy yellow shoulders, and a long shiny black abdomen that is somewhat spoon shaped, with bristly tan hair on the underside. Her mouthparts are sticking out, about to pierce the top of the flower just below the calyx. Xylocopa virginiana and Salvia azurea.The same bee, seen from behind grasping another salvia flower and drinking from the top of it. Her wings are a little frayed on the edges.An extreme closeup of another carpenter bee drinking from a sage flower. The holes they make are usually hidden under the edge of the calyx.A closeup of a Salvia azurea flower with some visible holes in it from carpenter bee feeding.

Bidding farewell to the golden warmth of September and getting ready for an altogether moodier October where things have a tendency to go bump in the night. On a positive, gives me the chance to explore my inner-darkness. (Image from my new upcoming picture book set for publication early 2027).

Across the Causeway. Original handmade artwork. An unpublished Illustration made for The Woman in Black written by Susan Hill. Image size: A4 £130 Email Nick at: nicktankardart@gmail.com
A black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller illustration on off white paper. Areas of dark and light and grey to describe a damp and gloomy landscape of a causeway across an estuary. Two people sit on a wooden cart with two large wooden wheels, the cart is pulled by an old horse. The track is wet and pitted with muddy cart tracks and seaweed. They make their way towards a large Victorian house which is situated on a small island at the end of the causeway. The house looks dark and forbidding, it’s not inviting like say…Centreparks, I don’t think it has a fun water slide out the back.  Rays of sunlight illuminates the roof of the house and reflect on the damp track, the sky is heavy with chunky clouds.

A classic #WildWebsWednesday at this time of year - an Ivy Bee foraging on an Ivy flower in the pub car park in Kenley where we had lunch yesterday. This was after a very interesting tour of the airfield led by volunteers from the Kenley Revival Project.

By His Bootstraps by Robert A. Heinlein (1941) Good story that simultaneously feels like it could've been written yesterday, but also some of the attitudes are dated in a few places so it's also of its time, but it's 85 years old so that's not surprising. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxoi...
