The pose is one I notice in galleries, people fold their arms behind their backs when looking at art. There's a sense of being respectful, or slightly reverential towards the creation they are looking at. A pose I transport to paintings of figures in nature

This one is going to a good one.

My portrait of Frightened Rabbit's Scott Hutchison is on display in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery's show Celebrating 40 Years Of Scotland's Photography Collection
It's a real honour having a piece selected from their 55,000+ strong collection, & lush to see Scott's face back on their walls

I have the Tory party conference stream on mute and am listening to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's marching dystopia end-of-world Luciferian Towers while I wait for Rishi's speech and it is quite the fitting soundtrack.

Very much a new person here, hoping for more art chatter and less billionaire edgelord horror.
Here's a painting I finished today of New Lanark, oil on wood.
