This is my custom portrait of Luna the cute cattle dog! This portrait will eventually become a shiny foiled print, and this special style helps foil release cleanly from the print.

But the desire to close her eyes -- for just . . . one . . . moment . . . -- was stronger.

She didn't own a TV, or smart phone, actually. Didn't watch the "news."

So she didn't know that, every day, every week, there were new things to be concerned about, afraid of, worry over.

She just lived her life with dignity and grace, loved the people who were in her family, sought to do kindly to and by others.

She didn't fret about getting a little wet in the rain.

The Chalk Sheep by Lisa S. Baker captures two woolly companions in a playful, painterly style. Expressive faces peek through soft swirls of coral, teal, lavender, and golden yellow, creating a tender and whimsical moment full of warmth and texture. The chalk-style strokes lend a dreamy, handcrafted feel that’s both modern and nostalgic.

#OTD in 1886.

The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works is signed. The treaty provides authors, musicians, poets, painters, and other creators with the means to control how their works are used, by whom, and on what terms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention

#books #art #copyright

The Pirate Publisher—An International Burlesque that has the Longest Run on Record by Joseph Ferdinand Keppler, published as a centrefold in Puck, v. 18, no. 468 (1886 February 24). A commentary on the state of copyright laws that, prior to a 1911 treaty, generally offered no protection to foreign authors and works. In the cartoon, hordes of German, Norwegian, French, English, and American authors surround a publisher who republishes their newly-created works without attribution or royalties in a foreign country, as international law then allowed. Of note is W. S. Gilbert, fifth from the right in the front row, as the many unauthorised or "pirate" productions of H.M.S. Pinafore caused him and Arthur Sullivan to première The Pirates of Penzance in America, to at least gain the initial profits there before anyone else could exploit it, and the title and subject of The Pirates of Penzance is sometimes - although somewhat dubiously in my opinion - considered to partially be a reference to the issue of pirate productions of their works. Other authors shown include Mark Twain, Tennyson, Robert Browning, F. C. Burnand, Émile Zola, Jules Verne, Victorien Sardou, Wilkie Collins, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., as well as many others.

Original artist: Joseph Ferdinand Keppler (1838-1894) Restoration: Adam Cuerden - https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2011661385/ by way of http://adamcuerden.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d5onmxh

"Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum."

In his letter to Theo, from The Hague, 21 July 1882

~Vincent van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890)

"Nel puro ardor della più bella stella
Aurea facella di bel foco accende
E qui discendi su l’aurate piume
Giocondo nume e di celeste fiamme
L’anima mea."
Nel puro ardor (from 'Euridice')

Italian composer Jacopo Peri died #OTD in 1633.

He wrote what is considered the first opera, the mostly lost Dafne (c. 1597), and also the earliest extant opera, Euridice (1600). He is sometimes known by the byname lo Zazzerino (lit. 'the blond one').

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacopo_Peri

Title page of Jacopo Peri's opera L'Euridice, 1600. Set to a libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini, who is also named on the title page, the opera includes some music by Giulio Caccini.

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.

Red Red Rose Triptych Part Three is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A rose blossom in bright colours stands out against a warm, abstract background. The petals are a mixture of different shades of red and orange, which merge seamlessly into a pink and orange background. The stem and leaves are also depicted in shades of red. The gentle colour gradients around the rose emphasise the elegance and beauty of the flower.
The flower is still partially closed and is just unfolding its delicate petals and exuding its enchanting fragrance.

Italian photographer and mountaineer Vittorio Sella died #OTD in 1943.

The high quality of Sella's photography was in part due to his use of 30×40 cm photographic plates, in spite of the difficulty of carrying bulky and fragile equipment into remote places. Many of the photographs he took were of mountains which had not been previously recorded and so have historical as well as artistic significance.
