For Algernon Newton buildings were living entities, vulnerable to the ravages of time, neglect or weather. period curiosities, timeless and unreal. This work, painted as a monotone picture, depicts 'Dovehouse Street, Chelsea,' in London, 1920.

Other decorative sea-motifs include sea urchins, seaweed and rocks. Height 27cm. From Palaikastro, 1500-1450 BC Bottom L - alabastron, broad at the base, swelling outwards into a fuller belly before narrowing near the top with a very short cyclindrical neck and a wider flat rimmed mouth.

'The Line of the Plough.' (1919) John Arnesby Brown's painting was the first picture he made in the spring following the end of WW1. It suggests the start of the cycle of life and new beginnings after the shattered landscapes he witnessed in France and Belgium during the war.

For the #BlueSkyArtShow

How to define #Evening?

To me it is that time

When the sun is low

But has not yet set.

Leading to this entry:

Artemisia Geyser

Has a dramatic eruption

In the evening

O anambé-una é uma ave Passeriformes da família Cotingidae.

Dois pássaros pretos empoleirados em um galho fino. O pássaro à esquerda possui uma gola exuberante de penas vermelhas vibrantes ao redor do pescoço. Ambos os pássaros têm bicos de cor clara. O fundo é desfocado, com vegetação verde e áreas claras, possivelmente indicando luz filtrada através das folhas. Há leves traços que sugerem chuva ou orvalho no ar.
