First decent photo of Fern that I've taken in months. Usually she's too wiggly. 🤎⚡

Brown dog with floppy ears and a colorful collar sitting on a tan couch. The couch is in front of a brightly lit Christmas tree. The dog is a lab / bully mix. She is awesome.

Grey Fireworks
by Helen Frankenthaler (1982)
Acrylic on canvas

Frankenthaler described her own work as the play of coexisting opposites. “It is an order familiar and new at the same time.”

"small bursts of electric color contrast with vague, smoky grays; yet at the same time, these colors melt and flow, borderless, into the grays. A pink focal point gives way to a turquoise focal point that gives way to a white focal point, gracefully, without strife. A heavy and somber patch floats, cloudlike, while light-weight blips fall to earth." https://aftertheart.com/2020/06/18/heavy-is-the-root-of-light/

Pelvis with the Distance
(1943)
Oil on canvas.

#womenartists
This painting is a striking close-up of a large, weathered animal pelvis bone dominating the canvas. The bone is painted in shades of creamy white and soft grey, capturing the dry, smooth texture of sun-bleached desert material. The bone's ridges and curves are emphasized, giving it a powerful, sculptural presence that feels both immense and intimate, as if you are touching the smooth, cool surface of the bone itself. The large, central hole of the hip socket is the most significant feature.

At least I have something to call it, instead of wondering WTF my issue is.

Partridges in the Snow
by Józef Chełmoński (1891)

Melancholy with birds.

#artsky
#arthistory
#painting
#cold
A realist painting depicting a bleak winter scene features a small cluster of six speckled partridges huddled together on a vast, low-lying expanse of snow. The snow dominates the composition with a muted, textured blue-gray and white palette, suggesting an immense, cold, and desolate landscape. The birds are centered in the foreground, their dark plumage providing a subtle contrast to the empty white field, emphasizing their small size and exposure within the environment.

Autumn Leaves

The painting is a quiet, melancholic scene depicting four girls in an evening twilight, gathered around a pile of freshly raked and burning autumn leaves. It is a vertical composition, dominated by the group of figures and the dense atmosphere of the garden setting.
