Good trouble, a young lady starts reading some Charlie Kirk’s quotes to MAGA Congressmen who had his pictures outside of their office.

“I saw you guys had a Charlie Kirk picture outside so I thought I’d read you some of his quotes ….”

“Seated Self Portrait, Shown in a Cheval Dressing Mirror” by Marie-Louise Roosevelt Pierrepont - Oil on canvas / 1952 - Thoresby Courtyard (Thoresby Park, Nottinghamshire, England) #WomenInArt #artText #Pierrepont #ThoresbyCourtyard #SelfPortrait #BlueskyArt #WomenArtists #WomensArt #WomanArtist
In a warmly lit yellow room, an oval cheval mirror with red wood frame dominates the centre of the painting. Within its tall frame, we see the artist’s reflection depicting a mature light-skinned woman with short softly waved fair hair, seated and turned toward us. She wears a blue housecoat over a skirt, a white cloth draped across her lap, a painter’s palette held in one hand and a brush poised in her other hand, as if caught mid-stroke. Behind her reflection is a brass or iron bedstead, glimpsed through the mirror’s narrow vertical. Outside the mirror, to the left, a small wooden table holds a patterned mug and papers; to the right, a green chaise has a small brown dog sitting upright, ears pricked, and facing off canvas to the right. Books crowd a shelf, framed pictures line the walls, and a red floor anchors the intimate, lived-in studio-bedroom. Painted late in a career that stretched more than seventy-five years, this self-portrait shows artist Marie-Louise Roosevelt Pierrepont, aka Countess Manvers, as a working artist rather than as an aristocrat. Trained in Paris, where she exhibited at the Salon and Société Nationale des Beaux Arts before returning to Britain, she became known for portraits and detailed interior views of Cliffe Castle and later Thoresby Hall. Here, the mirror becomes both literal tool and metaphor as it frames a woman who insists on being seen at work, surrounded by books, paintings, and her dog as an alert companion witness. Created in 1952, after her move to Thoresby Park, the painting belongs to the Pierrepont Collection of more than 600 of her works now housed at Thoresby Courtyard, preserving the self-image of an artist who documented her domestic and estate worlds with affectionate precision.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The artwork is complete. This is the first piece I've created since my solo exhibition ended. Now, I plan to create even more diverse artworks from here on out.

In a massive backlash against MAGA fascism, Democrats have now swept school board elections in Pennsylvania, Texas and Ohio and defeating all terrorist Moms For Liberty candidates in the process. Much more of this please, we have a democracy to rescue. 💙👊

a little anti-ChatGPT* poem by Elinor Wylie (1921)

*my interpretation
THE FALCON Why should my sleepy heart be taught To whistle mocking-bird replies? This is another bird you've caught, Soft feathered, with a falcon's eyes. The bird Imagination, That flies so far, that dies so soon; Her wings are coloured like the sun, Her breast is coloured like the moon. Weave her a chain of silver twist, And a little hood of scarlet wool, And let her perch upon your wrist, And tell her she is beautiful.

#Nov25Challenge Nov 22: Ghost of the First Snow — White breath rises like prayer from the ground.

A stylized, painterly scene shows a young woman kneeling in a bleak winter forest. She wears a blue bodice with puffed sleeves and a long yellow skirt, an outfit reminiscent of classic fairy-tale attire. Her dark hair is pinned back with a small red bow, and her face is lifted toward the sky as a plume of icy breath escapes her open mouth. Around her, leafless branches claw upward, shimmering with frost. Snow swirls in the air and gathers on the ground, where streaks of red spread outward like freshly spilled paint mixing with slush. Small birds circle her, their shapes blurred as if caught in a sudden gust. Cold light pours down from above, illuminating her figure and the patch of snow immediately around her, while the rest of the forest recedes into blue-gray mist. The mood is chilling and dramatic, blending innocence with a sense of sharpened danger.
