Very thrilled to introduce Hope Adams, who is my alter ego.

London, 1841. The Rajah sails for Australia. Aboard: 180 women convicted of petty crimes.
They have only each other. Until the murder.
Based on a true story, we can't wait for Hope Adams' #DangerousWomen. Be the first to read on Netgalley: netgal.ly/KIKMKM

'Two Lemons and a Lime Wrapped.' Eliot Hodgkin painted still lifes over and over throughout his career and used various objects as the basis for experimentations with shape, colour, lighting, and placement; each reminding us of life's hidden beauty. This from 1965.

Agree completely about Carol Shields. She’s a marvellous writer and definitely time for a revival.
I must reread but do try her if you’re a Strout,Patchett or Tyler fan. And even if you aren’t.

I’m intrigued by a Bulgarian crime drama on @WalterPresents #TheDevilsThroat is greatly enhanced by a very handsome lead policeman. And stunning scenery.

Like his friend Paul Nash who he met at the Slade, Claughton Pellew believed trees held a spiritual quality. This work from 1924 likely features his wife Emma (also an artist) walking near their home at Southrepps, North Norfolk.

هاکنی تا ۸۸ سالگی عمر کرد و تا آخرین لحظه با دستهای لرزون و لاغر از نقاشی کشیدن دست نکشید. حالا به جای اینکه از رفتنش غوصه بخوریم، تا هنوز بهاره به شکوفهها و درختها و سبزیها نگاه کنیم شاید دنیا رو به رنگ اون دیدیم.

To quote Russell Hoban: “Now is the only time there is.”
“I don’t reflect too much.
I live now.
It’s always now”
