For Algernon Newton buildings were living entities, vulnerable to the ravages of time, neglect or weather. period curiosities, timeless and unreal. This work, painted as a monotone picture, depicts 'Dovehouse Street, Chelsea,' in London, 1920.

We can't imagine a better way of getting into the Christmas spirit than a makers’ market with the fabulous @Honey & Co. We're giddy with excitement at being invited to take part & can't wait to see everyone coming to the Bloomsbury studio this weekend.

The BBC have done it again, with another great Radio Sci Fi story: Murder on Mars. Featuring Paul Hilton as a thinly-disguised Elon Musk (I'm used to Hilton playing the world's oldest man in Pilgrim, so it's a bit of variety to have him play the world's richest). www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/serie...

Almost all paintings that show a mirror and a reflection get the optical relations wrong - to see the image as unlikely is to miss its point, it's practically the only way to compose a two-fold image to reveal a hidden face, as Walter Sickert does here in this work from 1906.

'Sunset,' (1893) probably shows a view over the Lake Pielinen near Koli in eastern Finland. The leading artistic personalities of Eero Järnefelt's generation, from Jean Sibelius to Akseli Gallen-Kallela, regarded Karelia as a lost paradise.

'Artichokes and Cathay Quinces.' Unlike other still-lifes, those by Morandi for example, John Aldridge's objects are not huddled, withdrawn or being squashed into each other so we can be sure the fruit and the flower heads are as he found them. This is from 1967.

'Dartmeet' by Kate Gold, read by Sophie Pierce, is a hymn to water & wildlife. It breaks the human experience down into #Dartmoor sensations until the separation between human, plant & animal blurs to nothing.

Our 'Wild Words' #magazine launches on 28th November.

Those who know me IRL probably know that I'm bit obsessed with this bit of the moor where the vast forestry plantation of Fernworthy rubs up against Dartmoor proper.

It's a weird place of often unsettling contrasts, but that perimeter wall is also a reassuring handrail when the weather turns sour.
