Decorously panicking. Reading poetry to the Mad Hatter. Listening to Haydn with the Walrus. Hanging on to the grin of the Cheshire Cat. Arts, films, stuff.

Definitely not :) But then I also see generosity and wit. A complex face

Choose 20 paintings that have stayed with you or influenced you — one painting per day for 20 days, in no particular order. Few explanations, no reviews, just paintings.

10/20 Otto Dix, The Muse of the Hour, 1924 (portrait of Johanna Ey, Dix‘s art dealer)

#blueskyartchallenge #art #painting

A big, dark haired, double chinned woman in a mauve, fur-trimmed dress. She‘s wearing round glasses, a golden tiara, and golden earrings. Her gaze is astute, sharp, determined, no-nonsense.

So glad to hear that. Rather dislike/distrust thinkers-through: they bore holes into things by this through & through thing

AliceInTheSky @theotheralice.bsky.social · 6h

Sorry. What do I know. Sure you had your reasons

Tempted to do some wisecracking a la “with every further disappointment her face grew another 5cm longer” but then their story is really really sad so I’ll just shut up😰

So Peter Mills thought now this Modigliani guy is really exaggerating - poor Jeanne can’t have had THIS long a face :D

Moulting. What a generally fantastic idea. Pity humans can’t/don’t

Yessssss. My guest must be a very small jumping spider.
Your Catageus is the type I like best: long-legged, non-hairy. Looking forward to updates

AliceInTheSky @theotheralice.bsky.social · 9h

Nice! Regular updates would be appreciated :)
Total anticlimax: got a tiny all-purpose spider in the bathtub, as of this morning. Hope it’s happy and stays on.

So are they a pet of yours now, or a casual acquaintance? @afteroctavian.bsky.social, yes, very elegant: it’s the long legs and what they do with them for me

So glad you like them. Shame I’m not filthy rich: I’d be a collector :D

9/20 Joan Miró, The Beautiful Bird Revealing the Unknown to a Pair of Lovers, 1941

#blueskyartchallenge #art #painting

On a pale dusky pink background, a multitude of lines, irregular shapes, and the occasional eye. Bottom right: something that might be the bird in question’s face, or not

Oysters and poetry as way of life? I think you cracked the code

You don't need to have read it to get the joke

Cartoon. Venn diagram of two circles intersecting. The left circle contains the text 'Tristram Beer', the right circle contains the text 'Tristram lemonade'. There is no text in the intersection, leaving the reader to fill in the gap.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

8/20 Leonora Carrington, The Lovers, 1987

#blueskyartchallenge #art #painting

In an ochre space amply hung with ochre curtains, a bed with two figures, one red, the other blue, facing each other. In the room around the bed a total of seven white clad figures with black veils completely covering their faces and a strange symbol like an upside down trefoil hanging from where their eyes should be. One of them is holding a long purple dress. One of them, closest to the bed, is carrying an amphora on their head. One of them is throwing a big shadow on the wall. Approaching the scene: a human-sized erect walking wolf with one red leg and two canes for support. In front of the bed, facing each other, a snake and a catdog. Above the snake, a blue bird in flight. Another animal lying on the floor. On the left, the room opens and reveals a starry night, two hills and an animal that could be a camel or not.

A beauty! And anybody not appreciating that is a big blue leg ignoramus. Hmph.

AliceInTheSky @theotheralice.bsky.social · 2d

Yes but no. 1- Good professional pics + informative texts are great. 2-Most ppl me included dislike talking into the void. 3- But some dislike overtly polished (I’ve always disliked Switzerland cos it’s too perfect -true story :D)
On the other hand: I do get your point

Boo to all arachnophiles who ignore your pics. (Harsh but fair :D)
