Had been going to drive down to Teesside with presents for great-granddaughter but after filling up with diesel the snow started.
Postponed for a week.

This is what the sky down here looks like as of about 2 minutes ago

Sky - own work

[mickthemaverick]

Same here bobins, but I think you posted the picture upside down?

[myglaren]

It was like that here too, when I went for diesel. Featured the huge looking 'wolf moon' too.
Not any more

Nah.... It's definitely looking upwards

Own work - pah! Thinly veiled knock offs of Klein Blue!

Quote, from the above:

Blue Monochrome is one from a dizzying array of innovations that Klein pursued in order to cultivate a new aesthetic consciousness. Undivided by drawing and seemingly untouched by the artist’s hand, the radiant field frees color from the confines of form. That liberation extends to International Klein Blue, the medium Klein developed with a chemist: pure color powder in a lightweight, virtually invisible resin solution that grants the individual grains unprecedented autonomy, rather than pigment bound with oil, which had a dulling effect the artist dreaded. Applied evenly with a roller, the profound hue suggests a potentially infinite visual expansion—an impression further encouraged by Blue Monochrome’s generous dimensions and subtly softened corners, which Klein carefully rounded. Yet the minutely textured matte surface also exerts a powerful attraction in its own right.

Klein proposed that art was evolving toward the immaterial, progressively leaving behind physical objects in favor of impalpable effects and feats of ideation, and he conceived his intensely ultramarine canvases as essential stations on this path. This exploration also included ephemeral performances with the paint-smeared models that he called “living paintbrushes” and the sale, via certificate, of otherwise intangible “zones of immaterial sensibility.” At the same time, Klein acknowledged the allure of sensual immediacy, noting, “The more one lives in the immaterial, the more one loves matter.”

Can someone translate that, I need the "for dummies" version!

^^^^^

There's enough BS in that to keep a whole allotment in fertiliser for several years

I wonder if it's AI derived wordsoup, or if someone actually came up with that claptrap ? .....and no doubt felt very pleased with themselves in the end.

It's becoming difficult now to differentiate AI rubbish from the rubbish spouted by some real humans of an artistic disposition

A screenshot from my garden camera with a nice array of colour, shame about the quality!:

Wildlife all hibernated Mick?

[mickthemaverick]

It seems so Gibbo, I'm guessing they've all stayed home in front of the fire with a movie on the box!!

I'd be embarrassed to photo mine at the moment Mick, being ill in the autumn it all got a bit out of hand then the winter came and it's too damn cold to do much.
