November Moon https://www.wikiart.org/en/paul-nash/november-moon-1942

"November Moon," a work by Paul Nash, captures a surreal and dreamlike landscape with tall, slender trees and soft, muted colors under a glowing moonlit sky. The interplay of natural elements, combined with a peculiar arrangement of shapes, reflects Nash's fascination with the mystical and the abstract.

Bruce Davidson's pics in Ebbw Vale, as posted by @desdelboy.bsky.social recently, and my trip to those same streets. Iirc, the original spot was identified by @robtelford.bsky.social. Davidson worked in colour and black and white, and I suspect set up most of the shots. Sandra Mears pictured

Some illustrations I did for an M.R James story quite a few years ago. Can you guess which one?

This weekend we took delivery of this beautiful (and beautifully produced - the stitching is lovely) book by jonpountney1.bsky.social ... I'll be spending this afternoon immersed in it

'VALLEYS Volume 1' by Jon Pountney sitting on cushions on a sofa, with patio doors to a garden in the background.

One critic, writing in 1911 (the date of this work) commented, George Clausen 'gives us out of very simple elements the most perfect nocturnes, these mark a new and definite advance in his power in taking complete hold of a subject and making it his own.'
