Joan Eardley, Street Kids (c.1949/50)
Continuing the Scottish theme from yesterday here's one of Joan Eardley tender but powerful depictions of life on the street in post-war Glasgow during the years of austerity & rationing. Reflecting the children's lives Eardley presents a rough & ready but sympathetic triple portrait, capturing the immediacy of the moment & the experience of urban poverty in the 1940s. Its a deeply affecting painting.
Many of us will have read the last Mike Davis' brilliant City of Quartz, a major analysis of the political economy of Los Angles, but perhaps fewer of you will be aware of his other political economic work (much of which I had, at lest until I sold off my academic library on retirement)... so here's a useful overview of that work.

I just posted my9albums, but then looked at the ranking of posted albums.... which itself is rather instructive about what lasts (among a certain demographic, for sure).
Thanks to @Gillinger just found out about my9albums, and so here are mine... although to be clear, on another day the selection might be a little different.
Perhaps a little more quietly than in the past, the next UN Climate Convention, CoP31 gets under way in two weeks time... we can expect:
lots of pious words; but
lots of blocking (through procedural manipulation, focus shifting and backroom diplomacy);
claims the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is not fatal...
But, more generally what we will see is more about what we won't see... any concerted & comprehensive agreed actions on climate change!
Bill Gates is warning (in the Observer) that AI will see mass job losses, but the need for a 'safety net' means that the wealthy (who reap much of the financial benefit ) will need to pay more tax.
Whatever the merits of the second aspect of his argument, (as always) this sort of technological determinism undermines responses;
AI & associated technologies are not natural forces we need to deal with, they are human constructs whose social impact can & *should* be fully regulated!

Bernadette Longo's "Footpath at Dawn" invites you into a pale, mist-lit clearing.
Angled shafts of light and arching branches form a green tunnel that gently pulls you along the trail. I like how leaf litter and scattered twigs give the ground texture.

"Streak of Sunlight" by Janet Dyer is up now on Boese Galleries.
A streak of light crosses layered greens, the small white house peeks through the trees, and a diagonal lane pulls your eye forward.
The colors feel lively and calm at once. See it here: https://buff.ly/38AEH08

This painting always just grabs me, as I hone in on the little house in the swirl of colors.
Notice the band of blue water holds the view while while the small pale house is nestled in the field of wheat.
I host this original by Janet Dyer, where textures in the grasses and along the shore guide the eye and keep the scale familiar. It's worth a closer look on our site.
