painted leaves
"Their rich glow now flashes round the world. As fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall, so the year near its setting. October is its sunset sky; November the later twilight.”
Thoreau, 1862

I've been doing solvent transfer demos during our Rauschenberg Centennial exhibition and its been so fun
proud that one of the SUNY Purchase art history students wrote "Watching Santa Maria's hands work made me want to make something, to understand collaboration not as a metaphor but as a practice"

everyone is obsessing over this Rembrandt etching of Arnout Tholinx Inspector circa 1656 because it's extremely rare (only 4 impressions remain) but don't sleep on the self-portrait where if you look sideways, there's a beggar couple and head of an old man and woman
