Today I learned the name of this bush with cute little berry-like fruits : Euonymus.
And I can't pronounce it for the life of me 😅

12- "Mirror Lake" by Franklin Carmichael
Watercolor painting of a lake surrounded by hills. The colorful hills in shades of yellow, purple, and blue are reflected in the calm water. Tall dark trees stand near the edge. The hills and the trees are reflected clearly in the lake's water, like a mirror.

10- "Lucifer" by Franz Von Stuck
Painting of a winged figure sitting in the dark, leaning forward with one elbow on their knee and their chin resting on their hand. Their eyes glow brightly against the shadows. The background is dark and textured, in deep tones of blue, green, and brown, creating an intense, almost otherworldly mood.

9- "Rainy Day" by Maggie Broda.
Abstract painting of three people walking in the rain, each holding an umbrella. The umbrellas are in dark shades of blue and gray. The figures are loosely painted with blurred outlines, blending into a textured gray and white background that suggests heavy rainfall. Vertical streaks of paint represent falling rain, and hints of muted green and yellow appear across the ground and background. The overall scene gives the impression of movement through a stormy, rainy day

8- "El Jaleo" by John Singer Sargent.
Painting depicting a Spanish Romani female dancer performing to the accompaniment of musicians. The dancer, leaning asymmetrically, is placed to imply forward motion, from left to right across the canvas. She is wearing a large, embroidered shawl wrapped around her shoulders, illustrating common flamenco costuming. The dancer's pose, with the outstretched left arm, is a depiction of standard flamenco dance technique and style. Description from Wikipedia.
