Can you imagine this image on a very large metal or acrylic print? The colors turned out beautiful.

Just before Christmas, our annual trip to Bosque del Apache, NM. At dawn thousands of snow geese having just settled in across the water, all at once took to the air again, flying directly overy our heads. A matter of seconds it was over.

I never did an #introduction

So here it is, a bit late.

I'm David. Bog standard middle-aged heterosexual married white man from Scotland.

Though I'm a bit #neurodivergent, I now think. Aren't we all?

I write a bit, code a bit. Mostly for work, though.

I'm a service designer now, though I've been a web developer, content designer, copywriter and library assistant in the past.

I love #music, #art, the web, and Partick Thistle. Politics are definitely looking left, anarcho-syndicalist.

American Surrealist artist and poet Kay Sage died #OTD in 1963.

Kay Sage became deeply involved with the Surrealist movement after moving to Paris in the late 1930s.

Her paintings often feature architectural and industrial elements, barren landscapes, and abstract, machine-like forms. Unlike many male Surrealists who favored dreamlike imagery, Sage's work is characterized by stark, linear compositions and an eerie, desolate quality.

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

Kay Sage passport photo.

Sage has a serious and composed expression, with her gaze directed forward. Her eyes appear intense and slightly melancholic, offering a glimpse of the introspection and complexity that characterized her personality and art.

Her hair is neatly styled, typically in a fashion reflective of her era, possibly a short or shoulder-length cut, framing her face elegantly.

Fan-Art commissions are now available on my newly set up ko-fi profile:

As many of you know, I am currently doing a PhD (more here https://mastodon.design/@alx/113272284238735629 ) which is now requiring more attention and time and doesn't allow me to work full-time as a designer as in the past. I'm also on half-scholarship, so I need to find some alternative source of support.

#OTD in 1818.

The first performance of "Silent Night" takes place in the Nikolauskirche in Oberndorf, Austria.

The song was first recorded in 1905. It was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011.

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

#art #music

The Christmas song Stille Nacht, autograph (ca. 1860) by Franz Xaver Gruber (1787–1863).

The sheet is filled with neatly penned musical staves, notes, and lyrics, characteristic of 19th-century script.

At the top, the title "Stille Nacht" is prominently written, accompanied by Gruber's name and possibly a dedication or explanatory note in German.

The paper might appear slightly yellowed or browned with age, reflecting its mid-19th-century origin.

The ink may have a rich, faded black or sepia tone, showing the passage of time.

Both the lyrics, written by Joseph Mohr, and the melody, composed by Gruber, are likely present in German, formatted for vocal and instrumental performance.

Decorative flourishes or Gruber’s personal stylistic touches may be visible in the handwriting.

American painter John Singer Sargent was born #OTD in 1856.

He is considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Edwardian-era luxury. He created roughly 900 oil paintings and more than 2,000 watercolors, as well as countless sketches and charcoal drawings.

John Singer Sargent in his studio with Portrait of Madame X, c. 1885.

Sargent is depicted standing in a poised and contemplative manner, embodying the demeanor of a master at work.

The Portrait of Madame X is prominently displayed, likely resting on an easel or leaning against a wall.

The striking artwork, with its elegant depiction of Madame Gautreau in a black gown with a provocative yet graceful pose, contrasts with the more muted and practical setting of the studio.

Hi #fediverse this is #Hayley

One one the #Mainecoon #Cat I share my home with.

Not only is she the nicest cat in the world, unfortunately she also needs to be the bravest one too.

Potentially because of disposition she already had to go through critical medical conditions at a very young age. But we are so happy that she is still with us and we do our best to make it as comfortable as we can for her.

“The Starry Night” Follows Laws of Physics That Weren’t Discovered Yet

Art lovers have long known that the Dutch painter saw the night sky like nobody else — and now scientists know it, too.

Troubled artist or mad scientist? As it turns out, Vincent van Gogh might have been both — a new study reveals that the brushstrokes from his iconic “The Starry Night” (1889) align rather seamlessly with the laws of fluid motion in physics.

Vincent van Gogh, "The Starry Night" (1889), oil on canvas, 28 7/10 x 36 1/5 inches (73 x 92 cm) (public domain via Wikimedia Commons)

The Starry Night is the only nocturne in the series of views from his bedroom window. In early June, Vincent wrote to Theo, "This morning I saw the countryside from my window a long time before sunrise with nothing but the morning star, which looked very big". Researchers have determined that Venus (sometimes referred to as the "morning star") was indeed visible at dawn in Provence in the spring of 1889, and was at that time nearly as bright as possible. So the brightest "star" in the painting, just to the viewer's right of the cypress tree, is Venus.

The Moon is stylized, as astronomical records indicate that it was waning gibbous at the time Van Gogh painted the picture, and even if the phase of the Moon had been its waning crescent at the time, Van Gogh's Moon would not have been astronomically correct. The one pictorial element that was not visible from Van Gogh's cell is the village, which is based on a sketch made from a hillside above the village of Saint-Rémy. Pickvance thought was done later, and the steeple more Dutch than Provençal, a conflation of several Van Gogh had painted and drawn in his Nuenen period, and thus the first of his "reminisces of the North" he was to paint and draw early the following year. Hulsker thought a landscape on the reverse was also a study for the painting.

Henri Matisse, Paris, May 13th, 1913.

His attire is formal yet simple, indicative of the early 20th-century fashion, likely featuring a suit and tie.

The photograph, in Coburn's characteristic soft-focus style, emphasizes texture and tone, highlighting Matisse's thoughtful demeanor and his connection to his creative environment.

American artist Lilla Cabot Perry was born #OTD in 1848.

Perry was heavily influenced by French Impressionism, particularly the work of Claude Monet. She played a significant role in popularizing Impressionism in the United States. Some of her famous paintings include “The Black Hat”, “Child in a Window”, and “Lady with a Bowl of Violets”.

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

The Black Hat, 1914

By Lilla Cabot Perry

The painting depicts a young woman wearing a striking black hat adorned with elegant ribbons or decorations.

Her attire is likely a soft, flowing garment, rendered in muted tones, contrasting with the boldness of her hat.

The composition emphasizes the subject's face, framed delicately by her hat and softened by Perry's characteristic brushwork. The woman's expression is introspective and serene, giving the painting a quiet, contemplative mood.

ALT

Lady with a Bowl of Violets, 1910.

The painting features a seated woman, elegantly dressed, holding or positioned near a bowl of violets.

The violets, with their rich purple hues, create a striking focal point within the composition and symbolize delicacy and refinement.
