Portrait of Ann Druyan. Few people have done more to translate the vastness of the universe into something intimate, human, and urgent.

Her life’s work reminds us that science is not cold or distant, but a love story written in starlight. #SciArt

“The Beautyful Ones Series #5” by Njideka Akunyili Crosby (Nigerian-American) - Acrylic, transfers, colored pencil, pastel, graphite, collage, and commemorative fabric on paper / 2016 - Buffalo AKG Art Museum (New York) #WomenInArt #artText #NjidekaAkunyiliCrosby #BuffaloAKG #WomensArt #WomenArtists
The sitter is Nigerian-American artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s mother, Dora N. Akunyili, pictured as a student during an early chapter in the life of a future public leader in Nigeria. Commemorative fabric made to honor her after death pulls the portrait into the present tense of grief. With a chalkboard pangram and a quick flicker of runners, learning becomes motion via repetition, discipline, and endurance. The image is a generational pledge that education can widen a girl’s horizon … and keep her hopes moving. She is a young Black girl sitting on a low step, her posture relaxed and self-possessed. She has deep brown skin, close-cropped dark hair, and a warm, steady smile. She wears a cobalt-blue sleeveless dress patterned with pale floral motifs, round light blue earrings, a thin yellow necklace, and gray-blue slide sandals. One hand rests lightly on her knee while the other drapes across her lap, giving her a quiet sense of ease. Behind her, a dark chalkboard fills most of the background. Faint chalk text repeats a pangram of “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” like a lesson still echoing after class. Along the right edge, vivid green-and-yellow commemorative fabric is collaged in a vertical band showing circular emblems with a printed portrait and words of tribute. The “step” beneath the young woman is built from layered photo-transfers with small, energetic images of runners at a finish flickering across the surface … so that education, family memory, and public life share the same setting. The blend of careful modeling with drawing and paint plus printed materials feels intimate, like a treasured photograph remade by hand. Crosby layers photo-transfers, Nigerian references, and precise drawing to show how a life is made from private memory and public history. This work belongs to her series “The Beautyful Ones” portraits of family, titled after Ghanaian author Ayi Kwei Armah’s 1968 “The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born” novel.

It's #waterfallwednesday. This is Falling Creek Falls near Lake City Florida. It's beautiful, with a nice boardwalk for viewing. Sometimes it's raging, sometimes it's a trickle. A beautiful spot in the woods. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #longexposure #waterfalls #nikon #lightroom

Das Bild zeigt eine charmante und winterliche Szene im Freien, die durch eine Gruppe von Schneemännern zum Leben erweckt wird. Im Vordergrund steht eine Reihe von fünf Schneemännern, die ordentlich hintereinander an rustikalen Holztischen (Picknickbänken) sitzen.
