Photo of my cat, a chestnut torbie, sleeping on top of a canvas tote bag printed with gorgeous green-and-red-pink-ish fanart by Another Descent Into Madness of Wang Yibo's Bystander album cover. She is curled up like a perfect croissant. A friend (Jinath) has applied the golden ratio to her! The golden ratio spiral begins over her haunches, curls up and over her tail and spine with precise alignment, and curves over her ears, proving mathematically that she is in fact an objectively perfect cat.

Day 7.

#artsky #artskychallenge
Paris Street; Rainy Day (1877) by Gustave Caillebotte. Well-dressed figures in black coats and all holding identical light grey umbrellas walk through a rain-splattered stone square on a watery grey day. A man in a grey-green topcoat and vest with bowtie and a woman in an elegant plain black dress and widow's veil next to him are proceeding towards the viewer in the foreground in the left half of the painting, looking off to their right at something unseen. Behind them, dividing the composition, is a tall green street lamp. The pavement extends the width of the other half of the painting, with one of Paris's famous Haussmann buildings jutting forward in the background.

#artskychallenge
Peau Rouge Indiana by Alexander Calder. a bright red (very orange-red in the photo but typically a deeper red in real life), large, outdoor sculpture made of metal, not actually as tall as the trees surrounding it but appearing that way due to the perspective of the photo. It is abstract, with what could be the trunk, forelegs and horns or tusks of an elephant or oher creature on one end, with a giant rear protrusion that looks like a boat sail, with a sharp very tall large spike flanking it on one side.

#artskychallenge
Paul Cezanne, House of the Hanged Man in Auvers (1873). A landscape in muted wintry browns shot through with vivid green grass to the right and distant green treetops in the center background. The trees in the foreground may be dropping their leaves or coming back to life for spring. The sky is a faint blueish purple. A single-story house with a large grass or moss-grown roof juts out to the right. On the left is a multi-story house set into the hillside at an oblong angle, its open black windows and odd off-kilter slant suggesting a vibe of deep unrest.

Day 1.
Marc Chagall, I Am the Village (1911). Abstract. From left to right, a blue/red-ish/white goat and a green person in a baker's cap and wearing a pendant with cross look at each other the goat is superimposed over a scene of a woman milking a cow. Between goat/baker is a view of a town road at night with houses, shops, church. A shocked church parishioner looks out from the church, doing nothing to help, as a man with a scythe stands over a woman in a blue skirt lying upside down in the road. The painting also has a large red/white circle ringing the center frame and a smaller, slightly dented red/white circle overlapping it towards the lower left. At the bottom center, framed in a bluish-purple triangle, a person's hand holds a small pale sapling or sturdy little plant that has sprouted all kinds of leaves and seeds.

Two opposite side views of the Paleolithic sculpture known as the Venus of Willendorf. A carved rock statuette of a nude, very fat woman with no facial features.

Artemesia Gentileschi, Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes (1623-1625). Against a black background, a woman in a fancy golden dress stands holding a knife, her other hand outstretched over a candle that illuminates her brightly as she looks in alarm off to the left of the frame. Kneeling beside her on the right, another woman in a white cap and brown-purple dress looks up, alert, in the same direction. Lying on the floor in front of her is the head of a man in a turban; the maid has one hand on the turban and another pressed over a cloth which is pressed over the neck wound.

Xiao Zhan's illustration of his perfect day: a watercolor painting of a sandy beach and a large blue lake with mountains in the distance, beneath a golden sunset and clouds. The water is a bit choppy, with boats here and there, and a bird flying low off the edge of the frame to the left. To the right of the frame, a boy is walking along the edge of the water; a bicycle stands nearer to the viewer, closer to the right edge of the frame. Down left, a boy in a white shirt and blue pants faces the water, pointing towards the bird flying off. A little calico cat sits by his side. A big conch shell is on his other side.
