'Seven Brussels Sprouts.' (1955)
Delicately painted with meticulous detail, Eliot Hodgkin captures the crisp waxy green beauty of a vegetable that in the year this work was painted was too often boiled to oblivion.

A corpse road 'coffin road', 'lyke way' or 'lych way'. Was a route on which a coffin would be taken to burial, to prevent the dead returning the routes would often cross water, as it was believed a spirit could not cross running water, painting - Frank Holl

I was going to repost this painting from the collection of Leeds Art Gallery on All Souls Day but sadly I forgot. 'I am the resurrection and the life' (A Village Funeral) Frank Holl (1845–1888) is a super piece of work. Courtesy of Leeds Museums and Galleries.

'A Fly Fisherman.' (1879) Although James Hayllar is principally remembered as a tutor to Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais, he was a superb draughtsman and produced many memorable portraits and observations of Victorian life.

Last night BBCFour repeated Mark Gatiss's adaptation of the M.R. James Ghost Story for Christmas 'The Mezzotint', so that'll be back on the iPlayer. Here's that thread I threatened recounting the bits n' bobs I made for it...

Decorating the Christmas tree (1898) by Marcel Rieder (French artist, lived 1862-1942). A woman reaches up to add the final touches to the tree, a glowing lamp in her hand. Cosy scene, the world feels at peace. 🎄
