American illustrator Jessie Willcox Smith died #OTD in 1935.

Smith’s career took off when she began working for the Ladies' Home Journal, for which she created many covers and interior illustrations. She illustrated over 60 books throughout her career, including classics such as Charles Kingsley's The Water-Babies, Robert Louis Stevenson’s A Child’s Garden of Verses, and Clement Moore’s The Night Before Christmas.

A dark gray hill covered in grass. The time of day looks like either early morning or twilight. At the top of the hill, to the right of the drawing, is a large rectangular stone obelisk with the words "reject all" carved into it, and a giant red button—one of those round plastic things you might see on an arcade game or video controller—embedded in the stone. Somewhat down the hill, on the left side of the drawing, is the silhouette of a person. The person is approximately half the size of the obelisk. The sky is a mix of orange and yellow. High in the sky are two birds, perhaps hawks.

Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci died #OTD in 1519.

He was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he has also become known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and paleontology.

A bizarre ghost-shaped creature, vaguely reminiscent of the ghosts in Pac-Man. It has a dome-shaped head and no arms. The lower half of it is ragged. Its color is a mixture of crimson and roughly painted, iridescent green. The green texture extends beyond its body, as though it is dripping or glowing. The upper half of its body is covered by four eyes with multicolored irises. The largest, top-most eye has two irises. It also has three horns, and a glowing halo that appears to be dripping with paint.

Henri Matisse, Paris, May 13th, 1913. In: Men of mark. (published 1913) Medium: Photogravures.

It depicts French artist Henri Matisse standing in his studio. He is shown three-quarter length, facing the camera directly with a serious expression. Matisse wears a long, light-colored painter’s smock buttoned down the front. His full beard, neatly trimmed, and pince-nez glasses frame his face.

In his left hand, he firmly holds a large wooden painter’s palette smeared with pigments, along with several brushes, emphasizing his identity as a painter. His right arm rests on a sturdy wooden ladder positioned beside him. Behind him, a textured wall with unfinished sketches.

This photograph, taken in Paris in 1904 by the painter and photographer Ricard Canals i Llambí, depicts a young Pablo Picasso at the age of 23. Picasso is shown wearing a striped corduroy jacket over a white shirt, complemented by a loosely tied patterned scarf at his neck. His dark hair is parted and slightly tousled, and he gazes directly at the camera with a soft confident expression.

In the upper right corner, the image bears an inscription in handwriting: Picasso 1904, marking the year it was taken. The photograph is dedicated to Suzanne and Henri Bloch, close friends of Picasso during his early years in Paris.

If you need a blast of beauty (and who doesn't?) I highly recommend browsing the new Astronomy Photographer of the Year winners. They're spectacular -- and neither of these shots even made it to #1.

https://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/astronomy-photographer-year/galleries/overall-winners-2025 #space #science #nature #art #photography

"During a routine time-lapse observation of the solar chromosphere [the thin, reddish layer of the Sun’s atmosphere above the visible surface], I captured a serendipitous moment when an aircraft crossed the field of view. Preserving this transient frame, I employed multiple blending modes to enhance the details of the solar background. Beyond stacking individual video frames, I processed the sequence, undertook colour inversion and synthesised 100 images through combined mean and minimum blending. This dual approach effectively accentuated both bright plages [active regions in the chromosphere] and dark laments through enhanced contrast.

"The composite image reveals the evolution of the Sun’s dynamic surface across a two-hour observational period, while the aircraft’s two-second transit remains frozen in time. This layered imaging rearranges time, blending celestial bodies and human technology in one photo."

"This is one of my biggest astrophotography accomplishments to date, and the largest panorama I have ever captured, with the full resolution image containing over a billion pixels from 62 images stitched together. I had envisioned this composition for a long time, capturing the twin glacial rivers with the Milky Way core off to the left of the image, as well as the famous Southern Cross and other pointers high in the centre sky."

Title: Phoenix Hall, Byodo-in, Uji (1933)

Artist: Hasui Kawase

https://www.byodoin.or.jp/en/around/ #ShinHanga #Art #Showa #HasuiKawase #Autumn #Uji #Kyoto #Japan

Dusk falls at the the Phoenix Hall, part of the Byodo-in Temple in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture. In the foreground, the surface of the Aji-ike pond is still and calm; just beyond, one wing of the Phoenix Hall stands backed by tall trees, their leaves turning colour with the season. No people are visible, and everything seems peaceful and quiet. Above, the sky glows burnt orange and coral, with deeper evening beginning to colour the horizon.

This is my custom drawing of Annie the cute dog! This portrait will eventually become a reflective foiled print, and this particular style helps foil release cleanly from the paper.
