I love #rocks. 🤍
Drawing them feels like learning a story of the land.

Listen to Your Sleeping Dreams! - Tuning In
#psychology #health #art #MentalHealth

So the lesson from my story is, listen to your dreams! What parts of you might you have left behind, things that make your heart sing and that help you connect to yourself and others? If you don’t know, but you nevertheless feel a kind of nagging emptiness in living that you can’t quite define, the clues you need may already be in your own dreams, if you can learn to listen.

A dark gray sky, under which is a deep, well-like hole stretching down to infinity. Sitting in a chair at the edge of the hole is a figure holding a fishing pole. Hanging from the pole, dangling far down into the hole, is a string with a bright, green, glowing object at the end of it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Out of the fog

It’s a ‘failed painting’ that obscures the profound power of German Romanticism. Why do we love the ‘Wanderer’ so much?

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog (c1817) by Caspar David Friedrich.

The hiker stands as a back figure in the center of the composition. He looks down on an almost impenetrable sea of fog in the midst of a rocky landscape - a metaphor for life as an ominous journey into the unknown.

A cloudy, gray night. A machine is walking through the night: a metal machine the greenish color of tarnished copper, with two robotic legs, a rectangular body, and a lamp mounted in front. The body looks like a small outbuilding with a pointed roof and a single round window on the side, glowing greenish-yellow. On the rear of the machine is a clock key. The headlamp looks almost like a desk lamp: conical and pointed down, casting a fuzzy white beam on the grass below. Small particles are visible in the beam. The side of the machine is clearly metal, with a seam and bolts. Sitting in the window is the black silhouette of a cat. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

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 one is all about Highland Cows and I struggled with it! Their long fur is hard!

Sketchbook page of Highland Cows drawn in orange ink. At the top is the text Highland Cows and 5/12/25. There are 8 drawing of cow faces. The top left has the cow saying moo. The middle right drawing has the text moo.

Some serendipitous space beauty to start your weekend.

NASA's new PUNCH mission, designed to study the solar wind, just took this ethereal image of the Moon passing the (blocked out) Sun. The Moon's night side is facing us, but it's beautifully lit by Earthshine.

https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/punch/2025/05/12/nasas-punch-catches-first-rainbow-and-other-new-images/ #science #art #nature

$During commissioning, PUNCH’s NFI instrument captured this image of the new Moon as it passed by the Sun in the sky on April 27, 2025. The new Moon appears full, because it is illuminated by Earthshine (sunlight reflected off Earth). The image helped the PUNCH team confirm that the Moon will not obscure NFI’s view of the corona and solar wind. The dark circle near the bottom is the shadow of NFI’s occulter, which hides the Sun. The occulter, which was not yet fully aligned with the Sun, is surrounded by a narrow bright ring of diffracted light. Around that is a large, hazy circle of stray light glinting off the occulter (the Moon is inside that circle). Outside that is a small, dimmer region of the sky that is less affected by glint.$

Goya’s Coded Love Letter to the Duchess of Alba

Goya neatly clothes himself in his own world of fantasy: He will have her in the end. In life, where the climate is much chillier, it was, alas, to be otherwise.
