Found this masterpiece in my archive. Unfortunately, I'm not sure who the artist is. The artwork is titled Vužalki (Вужалкі), 2004.

In Belarusian #mythology Vužalki are the daughters of the #Natrix King (The King of #Snakes). Naked, adorned with abundant gold jewelry, which they sometimes lose. Harmless to humans. Always surrounded by snake guardians.

Photo taken in Zaslaŭje, #Belarus, in 2014.

It has been great exploring Lukang with the writer Niu Er the Pig Butcher (殺豬的牛二 ... how's that for a pen name?). And this gem of temple art, as SpongeBob takes his first tentative steps into the Taiwanese pantheon, is a thing of joy.

Moderne Kunst again.

I translated the caption Moselblümchen as At the Wine Festival to try and capture the spirit of it: seems it can be the wine or the outfit or the flowers maybe round her head. Or all three.

Josef Lieck was known for capturing “feminine beauty” which here seems to be the suggestion of what might follow the drink…

A group chat I'm in got started on the 'Sign painting, art or craft?' question today, and I linked to this article I wrote, which includes the quote below from Tony Lewery:

"Art is about the emotional response, craft is the practical handling of materials and techniques. Happily the two are so often involved and interdependent that this separation is quite unnecessary."

Night night.

I bought several #artwork pieces from art students at the Ladysmith arts council garage sale, this past Sunday.
These are 4 of the wooden block paintings that I got. I will post more of the other paintings bought, soon.

Lovely day at Rajamäki. It was amazing to be weaving in the old yeast factory.
