"I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in
anything. Objects don't exist for me except in so far as a rapport
exists between them or between them and myself. When one attains this
harmony, one reaches a sort of intellectual non-existence — what I can
only describe as a sense of peace, which makes everything possible and
right. Life then becomes a perpetual revelation. That is true poetry."

~Georges Braque was born #OTD in 1882.

You Can Wait In The Front Room

"You can wait in the front room" that was the last words you remember.
Did you faint or did you sit down and fall asleep?
How did you end up in that house?
Where you his first or his last?

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about cute little sugar gliders!

#art #SugarGlider #animal #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sciart #inkart

Sketchbook page of drawings of sugar gliders in teal ink. There are 7 drawings and the top of the page is labeled "Sugar Gliders" with the date 5/20/25. The top is one with its tongue sticking out, one gliding ("woosh" and "whee"), and a baby one. Below that is one on a branch, one holding some fingers, a small face, and a sleeping one.

Pencil cartoon of yours truly dressed as a superhero, surrounded by words: "Introvert! Conversationally awkward! Aargh! Self conscious! Doesn't even drink so can't use that to help! A bit weird!", and captioned "Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's Making Social Interactions With People She Doesn't Know Very Well Inexplicably Terrifying Woman!" (Now with internal screaming!) A speech bubble reads "Can we cancel?"

Robin in the Blue is a watercolor painting in contemporary square format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A little robin sits on a branch and looks to the right. The background is abstract in light blue with loose brushstrokes and splashes of colour. The orange-red breast of the little bird stands out as an eye-catcher for the viewer due to the color contrast with the background.

Finally – here is my finished new watercolor painting, of which I have shown you #wip pictures in the last few days - Black Cat Peeking Behind Pumpkins!
Enjoy!

A small black cat peeks curiously out from behind a group of colorful pumpkins and gourds. The pumpkins come in different shapes, colours and sizes. Only the head and one front paw of the cute kitten behind it can be seen. The cat seems to enjoy playing hide and seek.
The bright warm colors create a cozy and playful autumn atmosphere.
Black cat peeking behind pumpkins is a hand-painted watercolour by artist Karen Kaspar. It is perfect for autumnal home decoration and for anyone who likes cute rather than scary images for Halloween.

There is a reason my dog is named “Linus” — “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” is one of the most beautiful examples of Linus Van Pelt being an amazing philosopher from the [IMO] #Spinoza school.

The Maud Sulter Annual Lecture
31 October, Glasgow School of Art – free

Pratibha Parmar met Maud Sulter in the mid 1980’s when many outside the mainstream arts establishment were committed to growing a vibrant Black women’s arts movement. Parmar will talk about these foundational moments in dialogue with Sulter’s work & their reverberations today.

My favorite detail about this is that mama lion is present. You can see her ear on the left.

A hacker group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that targeted auction house Christie’s earlier this month.

The attack took place just before the start of its high-profile spring sales event involving more than $850 million worth of art. Online bidding was suspended, but the group claims it has accessed sensitive information about wealthy art collectors around the world, and is threatening to release it unless “an agreement” is reached. Digital Trends has more.
