Nov. 24, 1925: In his Boston studio, sculptor Cyrus Dallin works on a bust of the Nez Perce's Chief Joseph, which he hopes to enlarge into a national monument honoring Native Americans. He seeks to "make amends for the lies white men have told about the American Indian."

'Cloud study, sunset.' (1821) John Constable’s interest in the changing appearance of the sky dates to hus early as a student. At twenty-two, newly enrolled at the Royal Academy, he described the London sky as being how ‘a pearl must look through a burnt glass.'

For many years, Walter Langley’s Cornish Fisherfolk has been on long-term loan to us. Now, this treasured painting is due to be sold, but we’ve been given an opportunity to acquire it by private treaty before it goes to auction.

Our A to Z of Cornish gardens and gardening continues and for H we wanted to share one of Cornwall’s most magical of gardens – the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
The Lost Gardens of Heligan were once part of a thriving Cornish estate owned by the Tremayne family of St Ewe.

Sometimes I need to escape. Binge watched Department Q over two evenings. Thoroughly enjoyed it, so if you like a police drama series that is more interesting than the norm, I recommend watching!
