Some more images from the superb ANNA ANCHER exhibition, currently taking place at the Dulwich Picture Gallery.

She had a remarkable ability to capture light, especially in interior spaces. #Art #ArtSky #London

I wrote about the Jung stone for the 13th edition of Science & Magic, the second instalment of my Mathew Street wander and the 13th of my Magnetic North bulletins from the Liverpool drift. You can read it here along with lots of other delights:

Hansel and Gretel-type stage set, seen from my yoga mat last night. New moon in Scorpio vibes. What's behind the gingham curtain, Gretel? Care to look?

When it comes to art, people love an establishment seal of approval. It's as if people don't have their own opinions unless someone 'on high' deems it credible. Yawn.

Beautifully shot James Whale film 'The Old Dark House' (1932) so much better on the silver screen.
