I spent the day with Lucy Haworth‘s depicton of Marlow Moss’ life and work - and it‘s so powerful and inspiring. A wonderful small book by @eiderdownbooks.bsky.social about a great artist!

The most beautiful long walk this morning, swiftly followed by a visual migraine 🙄 Now battling with how to make a gift card on our website. Do people still buy gift cards for books at Christmas?

In 1908, aged 50, Olivia Tonge, freed of family ties, adventurously journeyed to India for an extended period, to paint. Her intricate, small-scale works covered both nature & cultural artifacts, & her informative annotations are well worth examining
