Underland by Robert Macfarlane is a fascinating non-fiction read in The Lazy Book Club.

Let’s chat about Blue Jay in Movie Nights!

Thanks for sharing 'Solitude' ~ I feel the freedom and power. I must admit this is my favorite. I've had fun looking through collections of T.A. Harrison and see he has a deep fascination with water. I never tire of shorelines and moonlight.

These are both beautiful. I’d hang them on my wall in a heartbeat! Still, the addition of a human figure makes so much more of an impact, doesn’t it?

You know I think I love all sea pictures - I'm trying to think of whether there are any I don't like and I can't.

The picture of the embracing couple from the Arcadia contemporary exhibition disturbs me. The woman looks as if she is blissfully happy and relaxed on the shoulder of the man, but he looks as if he is watching the viewer and is unhappy about that presence; he seems to have a life out of the picture challenging our view of who is looking at who and whether we have a right to trespass on their moment.
Thank you Lori for bringing these to our notice.

Wow! What an amazing mountain range, and how sweet the “grass art”! (And how lovely to hear the artist speaking in French!)
Thanks for sharing Lori. I would love to walk there so much.

Absolutely amazing - I've never seen anything like it! I love looking at it on the video but I'm not sure how I would react to suddenly seeing it on a mountain walk!
A very interesting find Lori. :72:

Adding another piece from Ron Hicks. I am so taken by his stylized work.

Posting this is "Art" as it exuded from Mr. David Bowie's very being! (Even in his mug shot!)

Well that’s definitely a face that would be fun to draw. (My new unsuppressable way of looking at people’s faces.)

It’s very heartwarming - and can’t help but smile looking at it.

Right up my street!!! Fabulously abstracted with fun textures and an expressive portrait. Brilliant.
