Here’s #2 in this series of snow scenes in the run up to Christmas. It’s by Rockwell Kent, and he painted it in March 1933 in Greenland.

This is #1 in a seasonal series of landscape paintings featuring snow.
I’m very busy marking student essays and preparing for the Winter festival, while suffering various colds and unexplained fevers, so I thought I’d rummage through my image bin and post a wide selection of snow scenes over the next couple of weeks - interspersed [...]
Abstract Animation by Dennis H. Miller
19 November, 2007 – 6:02 pm
Looking at Miller’s animations at his website (Flash alert!) I can’t help but get the feeling that I have stumbled upon a series of televised chats between members of an alien civilisation. There are signs of a very advanced intelligence on show, but however hard I look, I cannot for the life of [...]
Autumn Through The Letterbox
18 November, 2007 – 11:24 pm
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been collecting images from my hard drive and cropping them to exactly 770 x 140 pixels. The reason for this is it’s the size of the header image on the portal style blog I set up for the students I teach at Ravensbourne College.
I’ve started with a [...]

(Click the small image to make it bigger!)
All the paintings in the series “It Is Written” are accompanied by a fun filled biblical text that provides extra contextual material.
Here’s the link to his website.
Do take the time to find his work called “The Last Pancake Breakfast”, it caused a brouhaha.>>
Autochromes, Pointillism With Potatoes
8 November, 2006 – 3:07 pm
Oscar Grillo posted this image on his Oscartoons blog back in June 2006.
He remarked:
The Lumiere Brothers not only invented the “Kinematograph” but they also invented the “Autochrome”, a wonderful system to record colour images on a glass plate.
They had an exquisite eye for photographic aesthetics.
I was bowled over by the rich saturated [...]
Mind Your Eyeballs, It’s Autumn

Just Peachy’s photos of a Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon.
Just Peachy says:
Portland’s Japanese Garden is located in Washington Park, at the western edge of downtown.
It is a beautiful and tranquil place encompassing five different garden areas that include ponds, streams, waterfalls, sand, stones, trees, and flowers.
Famously, when Nobuo Matsunaga, Ambassador from [...]
A Panoply of Pantone Patches

“Everything has a Pantone colour - I’s just a matter of finding it”

This looks like a good game when you have time to kill waiting for a meeting, and you don’t mind ripping your extremely costly Pantone swatches to bits.

Colourful Autumn Fruits
2 October, 2006 – 2:19 am
Forgetful kids. What will they be like by the time they are 60?
Somewhere, there is a little girl hop, hop, hopping, while looking for her lost dummy.
I spotted these little collections of brightly coloured items on or near the shore at Lulworth Cove, Dorset, UK, this last weekend of September.
I recommend a [...]
ColorBlender
11 September, 2006 – 12:34 am
A while ago, I collected several online colour tools together in one big post
Another one has crept over the horizon, called ColorBlender
The site’s name is a bit misleading because rather than blending colours, ColorBlender is a machine for generating colour schemes.
To quote the site: “ColorBlender is a web-based tool for creating color palettes (here referred [...]
