An artwork called 'Conversation Piece' in South Shields, by Juan Muñoz. One of my favourite public artworks. There are 22 figures in total.

El 7 de diciembre de 1880 nacía en Connecticut la pintora impresionista Lilian Westcott Hale.

Es principalmente conocida por sus retratos casi borrosos de mujeres y las escenas intimistas que pintó de la vida doméstica en la línea de la Escuela de Boston.
