I wanted to tweet a gif of Peter Murphy running through a forest and discovered there IS no gif of this legendary 80s music video moment. That enraged me so much I made one myself. Here you go, internet. Don't say I never gave you anything.

Snowdonia Rock Star Cheddar is what Cheddar would be if it were more like parmesan. I need more of it in my life.

I've been seeing some AI slop generated from this painting and fooling a lot of people, so here's the original: Sunset over the Winter Forest by Heinrich Gogarten (1850-1911). Gogarten never consented to the inclusion of his work in machine "learning" datasets.

Backyard Lyric, oil on canvas by John Fabian Carlson. A lot of these paintings appear to have yellowed varnish and need cleaning and re-varnishing. Varnish isn't permanent, it is meant to be removed when it starts to look dirty or discolored and new varnish applied.

Spring Snows, oil on board by John Fabian Carlson. This little painting was recently valued at less than $1000. Sad that a painter of this importance is valued so little, but ideal for collectors, I guess.

Ice-bound Locks, oil on board by John Fabian Carlson, undated. Here again we see the muted wintry tones so characteristic of Carlson.

Shadowy Haunts, oil on canvas by John Fabian Carlson, date unknown. Here again we see those deep, luscious shadows. His high key works seem drab compared to these dark ones.

Here is another oil painting by John Fabian Carlson, unfortunately the title and date are unknown to me. It was exhibited as part of a program that features art in American embassies worldwide but although they had biographical info on Carlson, they didn't list any data about the works themselves.

Woodland Silence, 1903, oil on canvas by John Fabian Carlson. A brighter palette than his later paintings but the same subtle interplay of tones in the falling snow.

Snowy Aisles, oil on canvas by John Fabian Carlson. Date unknown. Carlson recommended that student painters spend a lot of time in nature, simply observing.

Brooding Silence by John Fabian Carlson. Undated. Oil on canvas. His palette is very dark and dull compared to today's painters but the subtlety of his tones is incredible. So rich, complex, mysterious.

Woods in Winter by John Fabian Carlson. Oil on canvas, 1912. Carlson wrote a book on landscape painting that has hugely influenced many American artists. Unfortunately many of the illustrations in it were only in black and white. Hope they've fixed that in newer editions.

"Dusk" by Maxfield Parrish. He has captured the "green flash" at twilight, that moment so many photographers strive to catch. But Parrish achieved this in the studio, not en plein air. He didn't believe in trying to capture transient light effects on location.

Here we have "At Close of Day" by Maxfield Parrish. Oil on board, 1941. As a mature artist, Parrish turned away from the human figures that had brought him such success and focused solely on uninhabited landscapes: "A sense of vastness, space, color, and light."
