This week's #OnlineArtExchange theme is 'bold and colourful art' to celebrate the exhibition 'Colour: A season of shades, tints & tones' @tulliecarlisle.bsky.social!
'Untitled' by Alice Berger Hammerschlag is a stunning example of her abstract work.

'Gourds on a Cloth.' (1976) William Brooker's cool, restrained compositions suggest Georgio Morandi’s influence on his approach to still lifes, and like him, his later work became ever more less.

Fairfield Porter is known for his paintings of quiet domestic life at his home on Penobscot Bay, Maine. 'The Mirror,' is a seminal work from 1966, capturing his admiration for the interior narratives of Matisse and Bonnard, yet painted in a style and language distinctly his own.

58 years ago, on the 13th of January 1968, Johnny Cash performed at Folsom State Prison. A recording of the performance would be the basis for Cash’s first live album. He had released the song ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ in 1955 which then became popular among inmates in multiple prisons. #otd #history 🗃️

Another of St Mungo's legends tells how he miraculously arranged for a fish to find a ring that'd been thrown by her husband into the River Clyde, thus saving Queen Languoreth from a charge of infidelity and execution. Glass by William Wilson, 1951 in Glasgow Cathedral. 1/3
