Historical botanical illustration from 1854 depicting the Wald-Anemone (Anemone silvestris Lin.). The main subject is a green leafy plant with deeply lobed leaves and a single white flower with five rounded petals and a central cluster of stamens. The detailed drawing includes the plant's root system and several small insets showing close-up views of reproductive parts such as buds, pollen, and seed structures, labeled with letters. The style is precise and scientific, typical of 19th-century botanical art for identifying and studying poisonous plants in Germany.

Well, Cher is obviously in that top ten of muppets. I'd also like to see her on the new show, just sayin'!

Watercolour painting of a view south from a high hill in Victoria, BC. There is a squigley barren tree in the foreground and a blustery sky past the sea beyond.

The morning's snowfall turned into sleet later in the day. At the Thursday's meetup of #uskdortmund we decided to sketch indoors, in the Museum Ostwall of the Dortmund U-Tower.

The sun finally came out this morning… 🪶

Unfinished section of a winter landscape painting, dominated by a hillside with almost colourless vegetation and scattered snow. Suggestion of grasses etched into the paint and a thick, textured surface. Dark shadows under the rolling ridge line and a grey-white winter sky above.

A robin looks at the setting sun and thinks, “Ring the bell that still can ring, forget your perfect offering, there is a crack, a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”
