Two strange figures stand side-by-side against a dull greenish background that looks like a chalkboard. The figures are drawn in white linework that looks like chalk. Both are crudely rendered at first glance: stick figures, hair in straight lines, standing under a sun that looks like a toddler drew it. Their faces and bodies, though, are much more detailed. The figure on the left is wearing a white coat with a tie, and has an eerily craggy face and large, empty, eyes on which are placed lenses. The figure on the right, which it is holding hands with, is dressed entirely in white, and has a slightly simpler face, although its eyes are also large and empty. A crude halo is drawn above its head. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Water: we're talking about it a bit more these days, as technocrats thirst to build more AI centers, not so that we can grow food, or take baths, or even turn on the tap for a drink, but so that today's railroad tycoons and oil barons can push something upon us that does nothing to improve the lives of ordinary people.

I like being in, and painting, peaceful, beautiful places.

If I wanted to see strife and confusion I could buy a TV and watch the news, or go to a modern art gallery and try to figure out the significance of a urinal in the middle of the floor.

I'd much rather spend time at the beach.

The Divine Comedy: How Dante Provided A New World Theory

The Divine Comedy is an Italian narrative poem by Dante Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and completed around 1321, shortly before the author's death. It is widely considered the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature.

The Divine Comedy, illustrated by Gustave Doré is available at PG:

There both, I thought, the eagle and myself
Did burn; and so intense th’ imagin’d flames,
That needs my sleep was broken off. As erst
Achilles shook himself, and round him roll’d
His waken’d eyeballs wond’ring where he was,
Whenas his mother had from Chiron fled
To Scyros, with him sleeping in her arms;...

Purgatory, Canto IX

It depicts a winged figure — an angel or divine messenger — soaring upward through dramatic clouds toward a radiant light source, likely the sun or a celestial glory.

As when, if Juno bid her handmaid forth,
Two arches parallel, and trick’d alike,
Span the thin cloud, the outer taking birth
From that within (in manner of that voice
Whom love did melt away, as sun the mist),
And they who gaze, presageful call to mind
The compact, made with Noah, of the world
No more to be o’erflow’d; about us thus
Of sempiternal roses, bending, wreath’d
Those garlands twain, and to the innermost
E’en thus th’ external answered...

PARADISE. Canto XII

Dante & Beatrice standing on a cloud, surrounded by rings of glowing angels.

Eine kleine schwarze Katze lugt neugierig hinter einer bunten Reihe von Kürbissen hervor. Die Kürbisse haben verschiedene Formen, Farben und Größen. Von dem süßen Kätzchen dahinter ist nur der Kopf und eine Vorderpfote zu sehen. Die Katze scheint Freude am Versteckspiel zu haben.
Die leuchtenden Farben schaffen eine warme und verspielte Herbstszene.

On Sunday 31st of May the Storyteller, a beautifully carved and created wooden statue by Robert Lawrence, was installed on Waterside Hill along the Southern Upland Way.
I spoke to McNabb Laurie of D & G Woodlands who commissioned the statue about her links to the Witches of the Glenkens and his hopes for her for Talking Galloway Podcast.

One of the best lines in "TheBigLebowski" leading up to one of the best scenes: "Darkness washed over the Dude. Darker than a black steer's tuchus on a moonless prairie night."

I have seen The Big Lebowski SO many times and every time, it brings me joy and laughter. #Art can do that. To improve your condition, watch it (again)!
