Beauty is every where
“...and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”
― Vincent Willem van Gogh
Trunk of an Old Yew Tree, 1888 Vincent Van Gogh
'For now she need not think of anybody. She could be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone.
All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others... and this self having shed its attachments was free for the strangest adventures.' ― Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse

About the Artist
"Elin Danielson was born in the small village of Noormarkku, in Western Finland to Karl Danielson and Rosa Amalia Danielson. Her early years were however spent at Ilmajoki as her father attempted farming there. Because of the Finnish famine of 1866–68, the farm failed. Her father died and her mother Rosa Amalai returned to Noormarkku with her two daughters.
At the age of 15, Danielson moved to Helsinki and began studying in the Academy of Fine Arts where her teachers included Carl Eneas Sjöstrand and Hjalmar Munsterhjelm. In 1878, Danielson started courses with Adolf von Becker.
Paris
In 1883 Danielson moved to Paris and took lessons at the Académie Colarossi under Gustave Courtois and painted in Brittany during the summertime. A few years later she returned to Finland and lived with her relatives. In 1888 she opened an atelier in Noormarkku. During the 1880s and 1890s she also worked as a teacher in several art schools around Finland.
Italy
In 1895, she received a scholarship and travelled to Florence, Italy. A year later she moved to the village of Antignano in Livorno where she met an Italian painter 13 years younger, Raffaello Gambogi (1874–1943). They began working together and got married in 1898.
They held exhibitions in Paris, Florence (where she was awarded an art prize by the city) and Milan and in many Finnish cities, and their paintings were also included in the 1900 World's Fair in Paris, where she again won bronze medal.
She also got to second place at the 1901 national portrait painting competition organized by the Finnish state. King Umberto even purchased a painting from her.
Their marriage was strained when Raffaello fell in love with Danielson's Finnish friend Dora Wahlroos.
She moved to Finland for a while, but returned in 1903. Because of World War I, her connection to her home land was cut, and by the time she died of pneumonia at Antignano in 1919, she had been mostly forgotten in Finland.
Legacy
Because of her choice of rare subject matters that often even caused some offence, Danielson is now seen as one of the central artists of the Golden Age of Finnish Art. Danielson-Gambogi was included in the 2018 exhibit Women in Paris 1850-1900." | Source: Wikipedia

A different way to make off the wall art
Today’s art lesson. Acrylic on watercolour paper. 5 versions of the same scene. Not telling whose is whose.
Lately, I have been taking an interest in painting objects as well as canvases. I call it “Off The Wall Art''. Right now I am working on a Bistro table and chairs. As I complete this overwhelming project, I will keep you informed.

THIS ISSUE
There is always something magical about SUMMER. The air feels different on your skin, the warmth hugs you and the wind gently caresses your hair.
People behave differently – they seem happier for the most part. Everybody seems to spend as much time as possible outdoors. Where I live it is a time for gardening and squirting the dogs with the hose. None of them will go in the swimming pool so we resort to all kinds of antics for fun and frolicking in the sun.
In the garden the small plants are now threatening to spill over onto the ground – everything is growing. Every year I start to plant annuals in the raised flower beds and boxes with lots of space to grow and every year I obviously didn’t do a good job because they are blooming all over with no space between them.
When I was a child we were always looking for cool ponds and rivers to swim in. Days of the “swimming hole” are a wonderful memory. My brothers and I found a quarry filled with water that was clear and clean. The rocks were warm and the water cold. It was glorious. I have included some pictures around the Table of Contents of great swimming places.
