We woke to find an Elephant Hawk Moth on the stairs wall. Not rare but worthy of a study to think about how to paint it.

Just finished teaching what I think is one of my favorite courses ever, and I'd like to share it with all of you, because I think it relates to where we are right now. In a time awash in anger, hate, and grievance the course was devoted to another set of themes: Love, Joy, and Devotion (thread)

“The Siesta” (1892-94) by Paul Gauguin ✨
Gauguin worked on this for more than a year, making several changes as he tried to capture the relaxed and graceful vibe that inspired the piece.
