By the 1930s, driven both by his experiences in WW1 and a sense of alienation from his artistic peers and critics, Christopher Nevinson sought out more conventionally picturesque subjects and London, especially the Thames, was a constant source of inspiration. This is from 1940.

William Orpen's portrait (1900) is of the painter John Everett (a distant cousin) pictured in the London studio they shared; Orpen left the Slade in 1899 and every new picture was a launchpad for new ideas, he already had a growing reputation for technique and daring.

'Two Gourds.' (1969) Eliott Hodgkin spent the better part of his life striving to create the perfect still life, an unfashionable thing to do in the first half of the 20thC. Very few artists are so single-minded, even fewer paint with such virtuosity, subtlety and individuality.

Painted in 1899, Félix Vallotton’s portrait is of his wife Gabrielle Rodrigues-Henriques (née Bernheim as in the art gallery Bernheim-Jeune). The couple married in May of that year, triggering a complete shift in Vallotton's working, out went printmaking and in came painting.

Bashed myself in the face with a mattock handle under tension as I tried to lever up a ridiculously over-engineered Victorian drain cover this afternoon.
Can't drive for 24 hours apparently.
Anyway, enough about me (I'm fine). How are the rest of you lovely lot?

This makes an interesting read. Denmark sold the USA Epstein Island back in 1917 on the basis that Greenland would be left alone forever. So there is already a treaty that prevents Trump from doing what he is wanting to do… it was dealt with 109 years ago!

This is the bus story. The context on the rice story is that Shiv originally posted it to Twitter in 2020 but graciously brought it over to Bluesky in 2024
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

On a night of ferocious dark rain, I thought you might like to see three radiant hellebores which I admired on Saturday at Cerney House Gardens, Gloucestershire. One is freckled with the wet leaf-litter through which it has just risen... but that's spring! I wish you light tomorrow!

Beautiful Dartmoor ?
The northern uplands. A vast, wet and almost featureless series of plains with nothing to admire for miles and miles. Underfoot is tricky to treacherous; always damp, sometimes bog or mire and potholes, hidden in the grass, ready to grab your ankle and turn it.

This must add to the case for a nationally televised @nebriefing.bsky.social. Be interesting to see what if any coverage it gets in the news when the BBC etc will be paying attention to Davos, Greenland etc.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:
