‡ THE UNKNOWABLE ‡

Hablaré del viento oh techo de hojas sobre el mundo
hablaré de las noches hablaré de los cedros
de los vestigios de antes de nacer

[Valentine Penrose, “Hierba a la luna”]

Illustration of a four winged anthropomorphic creature, perhaps an angel, in black and white. They have a powerful, solemn, regal air to them. They are portrayed facing front, wearing a long antique dress, long gloves, an headpiece, and pieces of armor on their shoulders and neck. Their long wavy hair is tied in a braid. They have black eyes and a third limpid eye on their forehead. There's a big waxing moon in front of their chest. Their left hand is holding an eight-pointed star in front of their belly, and there's another small star above their head. Their feet are bare. Behind the figure, there is a black rhombus.

Ilustración en blanco y negro de una criatura antropomórfica de cuatro alas, quizás un ángel. Tiene un aspecto poderoso, regio y solemne. Está retratada mirando al frente, lleva un vestido antiguo largo, guantes largos y piezas de armadura en los hombros y cuello. Lleva un tocado en la cabeza, y tiene el cabello largo y ondulado recogido en una trenza. Tiene los ojos negros y un tercer ojo, límpido, en la frente. Hay una gran luna creciente, con los cuernos hacia arriba, frente a su pecho. Su mano izquierda sostiene una estrella de ocho puntas delante de su vientre, y hay otra pequeña estrella sobre su cabeza. Sus pies están desnudos. Tras la figura, un gran rombo negro.

Heute morgen mal kurz die Fischereibehörde besucht und nachgeschaut, wie es dem Hechtnachwuchs 2025 geht.

Vor gut einer Woche geschlüpft, ist der Dottersack, das Lunchpaket für die ersten Lebenstage, fast aufgebraucht. Im Laufe des Tages werden Sie in größere Becken nach draußen umziehen und dann mit frisch gefangenem Zooplankton gefüttert.

I linger before the stone angel, whose bowed figure touches my soul. His sorrow becomes tangible in the cold stone. My fingers wish to stroke the curved wings, offering comfort where none seems possible. In his timeless grief, I find a strange peace. He watches over the past, while I merely pause on my journey to preserve his silent story.

Ich verweile vor dem steinernen Engel, dessen gesenkte Gestalt meine Seele berührt. Seine Trauer wird greifbar im kalten Stein. Meine Finger möchten über die geschwungenen Flügel streichen, Trost spenden, wo keiner möglich scheint. In seinem zeitlosen Schmerz finde ich seltsame Ruhe. Er wacht über Vergangenes, während ich nur kurz innehalte auf meinem Weg, um seine stille Geschichte zu bewahren.

I haven't painted anything #GO-related in some time, for a number of reasons... But the other day I was thinking about S3 and its possible twists, and I decided to go with the flow and paint this #Crowley and #Aziprahale inspired #hands <:

Digital painting showing two hands reaching for each other, one from the top of the image and the other from the bottom. White and black feathers surrounds the hands, and a string, half black and half white, is loosely tied around them.

This #statue can be found on top of a building in #Antwerp on #Meir, the main shopping street. It was made by Belgian sculptor Emile Jespers for an electrical store and is called #Elektra or Electronica.

A low-angle shot captures the ornate top section of a grand, grey stone building against a dramatic, cloudy blue sky. The building features intricate architectural details, including multiple levels, decorative carvings, and a dark, recessed window on the uppermost section.
At the very peak of the building stands a striking, gilded statue of a winged female, holding a lightning bolt aloft in each hand. The statue is illuminated against the dark sky, making it a prominent focal point.
Surrounding the central tower are smaller turrets and decorative elements, some also adorned with smaller gilded figures or finials. The roof appears to be made of dark grey tiles. The overall impression is one of impressive historical architecture with a touch of dramatic flair due to the stormy sky backdrop. The lighting and angle emphasise the height and grandeur of the building.

An almost perfect looking marble angel…

In 2018, the “Hermitage Amsterdam” hosted ‘Classic Beauties’, an exhibition on neoclassicism. Featuring over 60 works by 25 leading artists, it explored the influence of antiquity on 18th-century art.

Until 2022 it hosted exhibitions featuring art from the “Hermitage” in Saint Petersburg but eventually, the ties with Russia were severed, due to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. By fall 2023, the museum was renamed to “H’ART Museum”

A creative thread.

The Daughter .

From the manuscript:

"My swords are here. Different swords for different war. Made from my Father's truth. Its within me and all around me like a forest of the ancient time. Riddles of His creation guard it well. I am protected by His Love.

Soon I will join His new war. It's moving slowly but certain by His directions only...—
