Pigments





Another reason to visit Venice, Italy:


Arcobaleno
3457 San Marco
Venezia


Pigments for artists









I wonder, what is the price for a jar of cobalt blue?

Or a heaping spoonful of alizarin crimson?

Kubrick at LACMA






I was in LA over the weekend and visited the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art to see
 the Caravaggio exhibition before it heads to the east coast.  Yep, amazing.

Afterwards, I viewed the Stanley Kubrick exhibition  and was surprised how 
extensive and interesting it was.

Snow (Yuki)











Yuki is the Japanese word for snow. 

These Japanese illustrations of snow are especially delicate.
