Culture, The Arts, beautiful things: only.

I once worked at an art museum where it was my job to handle and photograph some great artwork including the
hauntingly beautiful albumen photographs created by Kusakabe Kimbei in the late 19th century. Thanks
for reminding me of his work, dada. I was going to post one I saw in person titled something like "Feeding the Silkworms" but
I can't find it online.
Sorry this one is so large while logged in.

is this the one?

d'oh! You found that pretty fast - thanks! I thought it was an interesting day in the life of the silk industry back then.

Actually, on second look that's not the exact one I was thinking of but it's close.

Ode to Tomatoes

The street
filled with tomatoes,
midday,
summer,
light is
halved
like
a
tomato,
its juice
runs
through the streets...

...happily, it is wed
to the clear onion,
and to celebrate the union
we
pour
oil,
essential
child of the olive,
onto its halved hemispheres,
pepper
adds
its fragrance,
salt, its magnetism;

~ Pablo Neruda ~

Hubris I know. Some of my paintings. A self portrait from 2014, I think. Oil on stretched paper.

And another from last year. Both painted from life.
