There is something deeply reassuring about sunlight: it restores clarity, easing both shadows and thoughts.

Black-and-white morning landscape in the Dolomites, looking toward the Drei Zinnen (Tre Cime di Lavaredo). Fresh snow covers a winding path and scattered fir trees in the foreground, while steep mountain walls frame the scene. Low winter sunlight breaks over the ridge to the right, casting long shadows across the snow and illuminating the iconic peaks in the distance.

Have a #painting. From a few years back "The Long Walk Again" is not the first time I've painted the iconic Galway scene. And knowing me it's unlikely to be the last. There are other places in the west of Ireland to paint, but something about the shapes and space draw me back here. #art #SpeirGhorm
Landscape format in acrylics on mat board. Between a yellow into orange sky, and a lime into green body of water, is a horizontal strip of a terrace of 10 houses (left to right: pale green, pale blue, paler blue, white, dark blue, red, mid-blue, yellow, pale blue, pink) with dark blue and purple slate roofs. Three houses have 3 stories, the rest 2. All have small dark windows. Behind are rooftops and gables, and in front is a dark blue quay wall running across the width of the painting. It has 2 small pale blue and white fishing boats docked on green and yellow seaweed at bottom of the quay wall on the right. A small round orange buoy floats in the middle of the harbour to the left.

Just making up pulp fiction movie posters from combinations of other images to entertain myself.
An illustrative movie poster for the 1956 science fiction classic "Forbidden Planet," presented by M-G-M. The image features a retro-futuristic aesthetic with a dramatic, pulp-fiction style. ​Central Figures ​Robby the Robot: A large, iconic black robot dominates the center of the frame. It has a bulky, mechanical body made of stacked, rounded segments resembling tires or bellows. Its head is a transparent glass dome containing glowing orange lights and various mechanical components. ​The Heroine: Cradled in the robot's thick, mechanical arms is a slender woman with long, flowing red hair. She is wearing a shimmering gold mini-dress and appears to be unconscious or in a swoon, draped limply across the robot's chest. ​Background and Setting ​The Landscape: The scene is set on a desolate, alien planet with a reddish-orange, rocky terrain. In the distance, several futuristic buildings with tall spires and saucer-shaped domes are visible against the horizon. ​The Sky: A dark teal sky is filled with multiple large, detailed planets and moons of varying sizes, suggesting a complex star system. Faint streaks of light, like shooting stars, cross the upper portion of the sky. ​Composition and Text ​Title: At the top of the poster, the words "FORBIDDEN PLANET" are written in a large, bold, sans-serif font in a pale gold color. ​Studio Credit: Above the title, in smaller white text, it reads "M·G·M PRESENTS." ​Overall Mood: The lighting is dramatic, with a warm glow reflecting off the characters and the foreground, contrasting with the cool, dark tones of the alien sky. The composition emphasizes a sense of wonder, mystery, and 1950s cinematic adventure. Robby the Robot. This is a vintage theatrical poster for the 1956 science fiction film "Forbidden Planet." The artwork is rendered in a vibrant, mid-century pulp illustration style, featuring dramatic colors and imaginative technology. ​Text Elements ​Top Center: In white, sans-serif block letters, it reads: "M•G•M PRESENTS". ​Main Title: Just below, the words "FORBIDDEN PLANET" are written in a large, bold, yellow font that slightly arcs across the top of the poster. ​Central Imagery ​The focal point of the poster is Robby the Robot, a large, dark-grey mechanical figure with a distinctive rounded, transparent dome for a head. Inside the dome, various colorful lights and mechanical parts (meant to represent a "brain") are visible. ​The robot is carrying a blonde woman in a limp, unconscious pose across its arms. She is wearing a short, shimmering gold dress. This "damsel in distress" trope was a common marketing tactic for sci-fi movies of that era, though it doesn't strictly represent a specific scene in the film. ​The Background and Setting ​The scene is set on a stylized alien landscape under a dark teal sky: ​The Terrain: The ground is a reddish-orange rocky surface. In the distance, jagged, purple crystalline mountains rise toward the sky. ​The Sky: Swirling green and grey nebulae clouds fill the middle ground. Several colorful planets, some with rings like Saturn, are scattered throughout the sky. ​Technology: In the lower right corner, a silver, disc-shaped flying saucer (the starship C-57D) sits on a landing pad, emitting a warm glow from its central light.

USVI - St John - Cinnamon Bay

#photography #nature #landscape #wallart #digitalArt #photoArt #DigitalDarkroom #NationalPark #USVI #VirginIslands #EastCoastKin

My Collection - fineartamerica.com/profiles/5-k...
This image captures a breathtaking view of **Cinnamon Bay** on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, one of the most iconic and serene beaches in Virgin Islands National Park. In the foreground, a wide, gently curving stretch of soft, light tan to golden-brown sand meets the water's edge, with small, foaming waves lapping lazily ashore in gentle curls of white. The water transitions beautifully from crystal-clear shallows near the shore—showing hints of pale turquoise and aqua—into deeper, vibrant turquoise and bright cerulean blues farther out. The sea looks exceptionally calm and inviting, with subtle ripples and sparkles under bright Caribbean sunlight. Several people are swimming or floating in the distance, adding a sense of relaxed scale to the scene. A prominent sailboat (and a couple of smaller vessels) is anchored in the midground, their white hulls and masts contrasting sharply against the intense blue water and sky, giving that classic tropical postcard feel. To the right and left, rugged, rocky cliffs and hillsides rise dramatically, covered in dense, lush green tropical vegetation—dense trees, shrubs, and what look like cacti or agave-like plants clinging to the slopes. The greenery forms a thick, forested backdrop that frames the bay, with the hills rolling upward into rounded, tree-covered mountains under a brilliant, mostly clear deep-blue sky dotted with soft white clouds. The overall atmosphere is one of pristine, unspoiled paradise: vivid colors, perfect tropical light, seclusion, and natural beauty that makes Cinnamon Bay famous for its long shoreline, excellent snorkeling (often toward the small offshore cay not directly visible here), and peaceful vibe within the national park. It's the kind of scene that instantly evokes relaxation, escape, and the magic of the USVI.

Signs https://www.slam.org/collection/objects/15829/
Robert Rauschenberg's "Signs" is a dynamic collage that captures the tumultuous energy of the 1960s, juxtaposing iconic images such as John F. Kennedy, an astronaut, and scenes from the civil rights movement. This piece reflects the artist's innovative use of silkscreen techniques to merge art with the contemporary socio-political landscape.

'When you have an itch....'
Herdwick sheep grazing in the Lake District, near Keswick, Cumbria.(Dec 2025).
Herdwicks are a hardy, native breed to the Lake District fells and are well-adapted to the harsh,mountainous terrain.
#lakedistrict #cumbria #nature #herdwick #sheep #photography #eastcoastkin
The image shows Herdwick sheep grazing on a fellside near Keswick in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. The Herdwick sheep in the foreground is in a side profile and is scratching its white face with its left hind leg. Its head is bowed almost touching the ground. Taken on a cloudy December day. In the background are trees and sparse vegetation and autumnal colours. 95% of all Herdwick sheep are found in Cumbria, making them an iconic symbol of the area's landscape and cultural heritage. Herdwicks are known for being the hardiest of all British hill sheep breeds, well-suited to the harsh conditions of the high fells. Lambs are born black, and their fleece turns a distinctive grey with a white head as they mature. The breed has a natural "hefting" instinct, meaning they tend to stay on their specific area of the fell without extensive fencing. Beatrix Potter, the author and illustrator, was a keen Herdwick breeder and played a key role in preserving the breed.
