In 1930, Richard Carline sailed to Venezuela with his brother Sydney and the artist, John Duguid, in one of the last of the great square-rigged ships, the Grace Harwar. This work was first sketched and then painted from the ship's foremast in the Mid-Atlantic.

life's hidden beauty
Jun 14
'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.

flowers of june on friday
Jun 12
“What is one to say about June, the time of perfect young summer, the fulfilment of the promise of the earlier months, and with as yet no sign to remind one that its fresh young beauty will ever fade.”
— from ‘On Gardening’ by Gertrude Jekyll (1843–1932) #FlowersOnFriday
ALT Nine-panel collage of June garden flowers. Clockwise from top left: a pink peony with golden stamens, a cluster of white ox-eye daisies, an apricot rose, violet-blue hardy geraniums, a close-up of pale pink astrantia, pink carnations, a white peony with blush-pink outer petals, a soft pink rose, and a drift of pale pink astrantia among purple salvia spikes. All are photographed against fresh green summer foliage.

Geboortedag Louis Couperus (1863-1923), door een literair criticus gekarakteriseerd als een man met een 'enigszins decadente overbeschaving'. Zijn werk heeft de tand des tijds grotendeels doorstaan. Van zijn veelzijdige oeuvre vind ik 'Eline Vere' het hoogtepunt.

Sterfdag van de bereisde E.M. Forster (1879-1970), auteur van verfilmde boeken als 'A Passage To India' en 'A Room With A View'. Dat uitzicht verwijst ook naar het advies van Forster om een ruimere kijk op het leven te hebben. Zijn motto was 'Only connect...', zoek de verbinding.

peace found in the Austrian
Jun 7
Every summer from 1897 to 1917, Gustav Klimt fled Vienna for Lake Attersee.
There, he traded society portraits for green landscapes.
This era blended Vienna Secession style with bold Post-Impressionism. Inspired by Van Gogh and Seurat,
It was peace found in the Austrian Alps.

... stillness, silence, containment, privacy, meditation, illumination.
'The Landing in Summer.' Mary Dawson Elwell emerged on the British art scene as a painter of interiors, or more accurately, 'portrait interiors,' of her Yorkshire home in the 1930s. Her watchwords are stillness, silence, containment, privacy, meditation, illumination.
