Winter winds are biting,
Etching the woods in shadows.

The paw prints of hunting dogs
Are black stars in the snow…

A Brueghel Winter
by Sheena Blackhall

Winter winds are biting,
Etching the woods in shadows.

The paw prints of hunting dogs
Are black stars in the snow

Beyond the icy poles of denuded trees
Even the hawks have frozen
Hanging, still, in the bleak chill of day.

The hill is a perilous stair
Here and there, in isolated pools
Fish blink up through glassy windows of water
The year turns on its axis
Underground, numb snowdrops shiver and wait.

“Hunters in the Snow”, by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, (Netherlands, mid-16th century). Executed primarily in gloomy whites and murky greys, the topography represents a river-cut valley overtaken by freezing snow with barren, rugged mountain peaks looming in the distance.

In the foreground, three hunters and a pack of dogs return from a quest, with the hunters' slumped bodies and the dogs' bowed heads suggesting the catch was disappointing.

In the town below, some people make winter preparations while others enjoy winter pastimes on the ice. A frozen water-mill, and bare trees inhabited by several crows, suggest the harshness of the season.

And there he stands, looking down Westgate Road, the mighty Joseph Cowan.
What would the modern political scene make of such a man?
Behind him, Cross House, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Sorry about the seagull Joe.

#musidora #illustration #lesVampires #vampires #billionaires #france #film #cinema #art

digital ink illustration that features musidora & riffs on the original 'qui? quoi? quand?' film promo.
musidora, in irma vep guise, stands on the right side of the image, a large, deep orange question mark draped around her neck.
on the left are the questions ('qui? quoi? quand?'), handwritten in white.
underneath each, respectively, in deep orange, are texts reading 'les milliardaires', 'les impots' & 'maintenant!'
underneath, towards the bottom of the page, handwritten in large, white type is the word 'tuons'. beside it, in orange & stacked on top of each other, are the words 'le capitalisme' & 'le vampire'.
in english:
who? the billionaires
what? taxes
when? now!

kill: capitalism
the vampire

Es ist Herbst und der Igel in meinem Garten wird bald wieder sein Winterquartier in einer vernachlässigten Ecke meines Gartens einrichten...

Igel im Herbstlaub - meine neues Aquarellgemälde

Habt einen schönen Herbsttag!

#art #painting #aquarell #watercolour #igel #hedgehog #animals #nature #autumn #herbst

Ein kleiner Igel schaut neugierig aus einem Haufen leuchtend bunter Herbstblätter, die er zum Überwintern zusammengetragen hat. Sein braunes Fell fügt sich harmonisch in die warmen Töne der von der goldenen Herbstsonne beschienenen Umgebung ein. Der Hintergrund besticht durch satte, warme Farben und schafft eine gemütliche Atmosphäre.
Igel im Herbstlaub ist ein handgemaltes Aquarellgemälde der Künstlerin Karen Kaspar.
Hier liegt das Bild auf einem Tisch zusammen mit Pinseln, Aquarellfarben, Herbstlaub und Kastanien.

Rainstorm, have you decided to dissipate?

Just a few minutes ago you looked so threatening, so intent upon leashing your fury upon the beach, the sea, me . . .

But then the sun broke through, created a crack in the darkness, and your power seemed to weaken.

Light does that, doesn't it . . .

There was much sound, the crash of the water over the cliffs to the pool below, but there was no noise, really. Not the noise of chatter and blather and empty promises blithely made.

And that latter was noise he needed to get away from, so that he could think.

The path is relatively level -- the trail hasn't started seriously climbing yet -- so you can walk it relatively quickly.

But then again, why hurry? It's pleasant here in the midst of the trees. There's both sunlight and shadow, and the path itself is a bit mysterious, teasing you about where it wants to go.
