As everyone knows, a working writer will do almost anything before sitting down to write.
Case in point--this writing workshop I've organized for tomorrow. Here's hoping some number larger than zero but smaller than fifty Oxfordian explicators show up to take part.

Explication of my art
My name is Mihal SHEMA (Ofri - Sheps)
1959 November 13
1962- 1973 childhood stay in Monrovia Liberia
1973 High school art study in Switzerland
1980 year Beaux arts school in Geneva
1982-1985 Graduated from the Department of Art in Bezalel
1988 Work at Gimel Gallery
1990 Work at "Ktam" silk printing with Tzik Schwartz
2002- 2022 art instructor for autistic adults in ALOT
In 2017 I accompanied my father in Switzerland during his last days.
I took a picture from the hospital window of the view reflected from the balcony.
I divided the photo into 100 squares. The size of each square is 36.5X36.5
I used the iPad to work on the works on oil paper, it allowed me to concentrate on the oil work and on the other hand the screen was gravel between me and the place. as the memory of time passing through the screen (time as an object, which was and disappeared)
Title: Fragments of Life: Exploring Intimacy
My artistic journey is a dichotomy between life and death, and the complex relationship between them. Death beyond the invisible window compared to life. The use of the computer screen illustrates the distance of time, like a musical interval. The time factor is very important. The division is dealing with the passing of time. The need to focus on the individual that makes up a whole, an observer observes the individual and the whole at the same time. Time that exists in different centers at the same time.
The fragmented nature of the work serves several purposes.
First, it offers a pragmatic solution for storing and displaying a work independently, embracing the realms of public art while maintaining an intimate relationship with the viewer. Through this approach I bring to the dialogue between the individual and the collective, intimacy and questioning the function of the museum.
The created grid also corresponds with the history of art (Renaissance) - in which the division grid was used to draw.
Moreover, these squares speak of a philosophical concept. Each square, metaphorically, puts this emphasis on repetition, restart (recommencement) repetition in a different way, each time a little. Rosalind Krauss
My artistic process combines the digital and the traditional. The journey from the digital image to art, oil on tangible paper symbolizes a back-and-forth investigation, and blurs the boundaries between the virtual and physical realms. Through the interplay, there is a personal memory as well as an individual memory of each one.
My intimate connection to nature is deeply rooted in my education, especially in the years in Monrovia, Liberia 1962 - 1973. Looking through the window at nature, I aim to inspire a sense of respect for the natural world and to inspire reflection on our place within it. The meticulous attention to detail in each square invites viewers to embark on a meditative journey, where the macroscopic wonders of nature are revealed by the power of the human eye.
On this transformative work of art, the net becomes a powerful symbol in the tapestry of life.

Today's museums seek to explain, to edify with the abosluteness of our knowledge, or bolster our belief in science through the explication of theory. It is not to collect or inspire, as has been the case in previous centuries. No, we enter into a hall of decisive knowledge, a place of diagrams and demonstrations. In no aspect is this more apparent than in the banishment of shadows. Everything is in full view, categorized joylessly and precisely.
It is in such a crisis of illumination that I seek to draw the curtains in order to preserve our wonder.

To view more of my images, of Anglesey Abbey, please click "here"!
Galanthus (Snowdrops; Greek gála "milk", ánthos "flower") is a small genus of about 20 species of bulbous herbaceous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. Most flower in winter, before the vernal equinox (20 or 21 March in the Northern Hemisphere), but certain species flower in early spring and late autumn. Snowdrops are sometimes confused with the two related genera within Galantheae, snowflakes Leucojum and Acis. All species of Galanthus are perennial, herbaceous plants which grow from bulbs. Each bulb generally produces just two or three linear leaves and an erect, leafless scape (flowering stalk), which bears at the top a pair of bract-like spathe valves joined by a papery membrane. From between them emerges a solitary, pendulous, bell-shaped white flower, held on a slender pedicel. The flower has no petals: it consists of six tepals, the outer three being larger and more convex than the inner series. The six anthers open by pores or short slits. The ovary is three-celled, ripening into a three-celled capsule. Each whitish seed has a small, fleshy tail (elaiosome) containing substances attractive to ants which distribute the seeds. The leaves die back a few weeks after the flowers have faded. The inner flower segments are usually marked with a green, or greenish-yellow, bridge-shaped mark over the small "sinus" (notch) at the tip of each tepal. An important feature which helps to distinguish between species (and to help to determine the parentage of hybrids) is their "vernation" (the arrangement of the emerging leaves relative to each other). This can be "applanate", "supervolute" or "explicative". In applanate vernation the two leaf blades are pressed flat to each other within the bud and as they emerge; explicative leaves are also pressed flat against each other, but the edges of the leaves are folded back or sometimes rolled; in supervolute plants one leaf is tightly clasped around the other within the bud and generally remains at the point where the leaves emerge from the soil.

Part of "Stop Bush !"
La piccola in cerca di qualche moneta, forse per lei è solo un gioco innocente, forse nella sua mente ci sono già pensieri di un adulto, lei non è stata mai bambina... "Les grandes personnes ne comprennent jamais rien toutes seules, et c'est fatigant, pour les enfants, de toujours et toujours leur donner des explications" di Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (..a una persona Speciale!)
She is looking for some little money, maybe she thinks it is just an innocent game, maybe in her mind there are already thoughts of an adult, she has never been a child. "Adults won't understand anything about life until children explain them, our kids have to clear up everything".
Quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. (Dedicated to a Special Person!)
A certain Claude Maréchal apparently spent three years working on this
splendid mosaic which greatly livens up... well, do you know where?!
i think it's called the 'Chantecler', which sounds like a made up word
to me - hang on, i'll check...
OK, i'm back, and having discovered tangentially that 'Chantecler' is,
variously, the name of a campsite, a garden, a dramatic poem and a
blog, i finally discover that it is also, and quite probably
originally, a type of chicken, normally white.
Now, i do feel rather justified in researching this topic in depth, if
that's what a quick Google search can be called, as judging by M.
Maréchal's work you might be forgiven for thinking that a 'chantecler'
was, in fact, a peacock. In any case, i'm sure there's a perfectly
rational explication behind all this, it's a lovely name (translating
as something like 'sweet songbird' -ish) and it looks like that chap's
going to get a rather sharp peck on the back of the neck if he doesn't
watch out!

John Neagle - American, 1796 - 1865
Richard Mentor Johnson, 1843
West Building, Main Floor — Gallery 60-A
The successful Philadelphia portrait painter John Neagle received one of the most important commissions of his career in 1842, when Whig Party members requested a full-length likeness of their presidential candidate Henry Clay (The Union League of Philadelphia). To execute the portrait, Neagle traveled to Frankfort, Kentucky, where he received additional commissions including this painting of Clay’s fellow Kentuckian Richard Mentor Johnson (1780-1850). Like Clay, Johnson served in both houses of Congress; he also served as the ninth Vice President of the United States in the administration of Martin Van Buren (1837 to 1841).
The son-in-law and student of Philadelphia painter Thomas Sully, Neagle displayed the same bravura brushwork as his mentor. Dazzling strokes define Johnson’s trademark red waistcoat, shiny silk cravat, ruddy complexion, and the breeze-blown gray curls that frame his pensive face. They also enliven the dense, lush trees edged in fall foliage, whose crimson color echoes that of Johnson’s vest. Neagle’s choice of a landscape background, rather than a studio setting, was relatively unusual for portraiture during this era.
John Neagle was born November 4, 1796, while his parents--Irish-born Maurice Nagle and Susannah Taylor, the daughter of a New Jersey farmer--were visiting Boston from their home in Philadelphia. He was baptized as a Roman Catholic, attended grammar school in Philadelphia, and briefly studied art with the drawing master and artist Pietro Ancora. He worked in his step-father Lawrence Ennis's grocery and liquor store until the age of fifteen, when he was apprenticed to a local coach decorator named Thomas Wilson. When Wilson began to take painting lessons from Bass Otis, Neagle was impressed with the likenesses he saw in that artist's studio, and resolved to become a portraitist himself. He studied with Otis for about two months and embarked on a rigorous independent study of art. By 1815 he had begun to paint small oil sketches that he sold for five dollars apiece. It was around this time that the aspiring artist resolved to change the spelling of his name from Nagle to Neagle, after seeing an illustration in Joel Barlow's Columbiad (Philadelphia, 1807) that had been engraved by James Neagle (c. 1769-1822). Neagle was further inspired when Otis introduced him to Thomas Sully, who soon became his mentor.
Tired from the drudgery of decorating coaches and encouraged by the successful results of his early efforts, Neagle left Wilson and set up a modest practice. In 1818 he sought greater professional opportunities in Lexington, Kentucky, but was frustrated by the presence there of Matthew Harris Jouett. He proceeded to New Orleans, where prospects for a portraitist were equally bleak, and immediately returned to Philadelphia, where he remained for the rest of his life.
Neagle began to exhibit at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1821, and his earliest portraits of Indians, actors, and clergymen contain the distinguishing characteristic of his mature style: they are forceful, penetrating likenesses that capture the essence of his sitters' personalities. He excelled in portraits of men, but his images of women were often of remarkably inferior quality. Perhaps as a reaction to detail-oriented coach decoration, Neagle was predisposed to learn the painterly British style of Joshua Reynolds, Henry Raeburn, and Thomas Lawrence that he absorbed through Sully's tutelage. In the summer of 1825 he returned to the city of his birth, where he studied with Gilbert Stuart and met Washington Allston. Stuart's influence on Neagle's development was decisive, and reinforced his penchant for the loose, abbreviated British style.
On 29 May 1826 he married Sully's step-daughter Mary Chester Sully, and departed immediately for New York City. There he executed portraits of noted actors and actresses that later appeared as engraved illustrations in a series of books titled The Acting American Theatre. Thereafter followed a period of intense artistic activity during which his artistic style matured rapidly. In 1827 Neagle painted the portrait that earned him a national reputation and for which he is best remembered today, the full-length Pat Lyon at the Forge (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). He painted a second version of it in 1829 (Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia). The culminating accomplishment of this period, the Grand Manner portrait Dr. William Potts Dewees (1833, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia), demonstrates how well Neagle mastered the British style without ever having studied in England.
Throughout his long career Neagle painted Philadelphia's prominent doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and clergymen of various denominations. His portraits are often remarkable for the iconographic devices he used to explicate his subjects' professions or important experiences in their lives. Self-educated and conversant on a wide variety of intellectual pursuits, he moved freely in the city's elite social circles. An active and sometimes outspoken exponent of artists' rights who spared no efforts to promote the fine arts in America, Neagle was elected first president of the Artists' Fund Society, a group of dissident artists who had seceded from the Pennsylvania Academy in 1835.
In the early autumn of 1842 a group of Philadelphia's prominent Whig citizens commissioned him to paint the full-length Henry Clay (The Union League of Philadelphia), a portrait that served as a political icon for the Germantown Clay Club during the statesman's bid for the presidency of the United States in 1844. The artist travelled to Clay's farm Ashland in Lexington, Kentucky, and remained in the state painting prominent people until early 1843. The Clay portrait was Neagle's last major work. Depressed by the death of his beloved wife in 1845, he gradually withdrew from society. With very few exceptions, his artistic creativity diminished and his activity as a professional portraitist gradually tapered off. Neagle continued to paint portraits until the late 1850s, when he suffered a severe stroke. He died in Philadelphia in 1865.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC is a world-class art museum that displays one of the largest collections of masterpieces in the world including paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and decorative arts from the 13th century to the present. The National Gallery of Art collection includes an extensive survey of works of American, British, Italian, Flemish, Spanish, Dutch, French and German art. With its prime location on the National Mall, surrounded by the Smithsonian Institution, visitors often think that the museum is a part of the Smithsonian. It is a separate entity and is supported by a combination of private and public funds. Admission is free. The museum offers a wide range of educational programs, lectures, guided tours, films, and concerts.
The original neoclassical building, the West Building includes European (13th-early 20th century) and American (18th-early 20th century) paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, and temporary exhibitions. The National Gallery of Art was opened to the public in 1941 with funds provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The original collection of masterpieces was provided by Mellon, who was the U. S. Secretary of the Treasury and ambassador to Britain in the 1930s. Mellon collected European masterpieces and many of the Gallery’s original works were once owned by Catherine II of Russia and purchased in the early 1930s by Mellon from the Hermitage Museum in Leningrad.
The core collection includes major works of art donated by Paul Mellon, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, Samuel Henry Kress, Rush Harrison Kress, Peter Arrell Browne Widener, Joseph E. Widener, and Chester Dale. The Gallery's collection of paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, medals, and decorative arts traces the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present, including the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas and the largest mobile created by Alexander Calder.
The NGA's collection galleries and Sculpture Garden display European and American paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and decorative arts. Paintings in the permanent collection date from the Middle Ages to the present. The Italian Renaissance collection includes two panels from Duccio's Maesta, the tondo of the Adoration of the Magi by Fra Angelico and Filippo Lippi, a Botticelli work on the same subject, Giorgione's Allendale Nativity, Giovanni Bellini's The Feast of the Gods, Ginevra de' Benci (the only painting by Leonardo da Vinci in the Americas) and groups of works by Titian and Raphael.
The collections include paintings by many European masters, including a version of Saint Martin and the Beggar, by El Greco, and works by Matthias Grünewald, Cranach the Elder, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Frans Hals, Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and Eugène Delacroix, among others. The collection of sculpture and decorative arts includes such works as the Chalice of Abbot Suger of St-Denis and a collection of work by Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas. Other highlights of the permanent collection include the second of the two original sets of Thomas Cole's series of paintings titled The Voyage of Life, (the first set is at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica, New York) and the original version of Watson and the Shark by John Singleton Copley (two other versions are in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Detroit Institute of Arts).

Andrew W. Mellon, who pledged both the resources to construct the National Gallery of Art as well as his high-quality art collection, is rightly known as the founder of the gallery. But his bequest numbered less than two hundred paintings and sculptures—not nearly enough to fill the gallery’s massive rooms. This, however, was a feature, not a failure of Mellon’s vision; he anticipated that the gallery eventually would be filled not only by his own collection, but also by additional donations from other private collectors. By design, then, it was both Andrew Mellon and those who followed his lead—among them, eight men and women known as the Founding Benefactors—to whom the gallery owes its premier reputation as a national art museum. At the gallery’s opening in 1941, President Roosevelt stated, “the dedication of this Gallery to a living past, and to a greater and more richly living future, is the measure of the earnestness of our intention that the freedom of the human spirit shall go on.”

I shouldn't really say kids. Young People. But Kids is more alliterative so what are you gonna do? Explicate! (As the pedantic Dalek said...) It was a glorious weekend in South London and there were literally thousands of people enjoying the sunshine and the Common (no, I didn't count them all but the place was littered with live, lithe bodies and a few old carcasses like yours truly too). I just sat around the place occasionally training my telephoto lens on a few interesting-looking people. I started to feel like a bit of an intruder though so I stopped after a short while.

An iron text tree on the new built cemetary Zevenberg in Fluitenberg. The name Zevenberg ("seven mountains") explicates the presence of seven three thousand years old burial mounds near the cemetary. The tree is made of Dutch sentences that are being used during funeral ceremonies and in death announcements.

Explication of my art
My name is Mihal SHEMA (Ofri - Sheps)
1959 November 13
1962- 1973 childhood stay in Monrovia Liberia
1973 High school art study in Switzerland
1980 year Beaux arts school in Geneva
1982-1985 Graduated from the Department of Art in Bezalel
1988 Work at Gimel Gallery
1990 Work at "Ktam" silk printing with Tzik Schwartz
2002- 2022 art instructor for autistic adults in ALOT
In 2017 I accompanied my father in Switzerland during his last days.
I took a picture from the hospital window of the view reflected from the balcony.
I divided the photo into 100 squares. The size of each square is 36.5X36.5
I used the iPad to work on the works on oil paper, it allowed me to concentrate on the oil work and on the other hand the screen was gravel between me and the place. as the memory of time passing through the screen (time as an object, which was and disappeared)
Title: Fragments of Life: Exploring Intimacy
My artistic journey is a dichotomy between life and death, and the complex relationship between them. Death beyond the invisible window compared to life. The use of the computer screen illustrates the distance of time, like a musical interval. The time factor is very important. The division is dealing with the passing of time. The need to focus on the individual that makes up a whole, an observer observes the individual and the whole at the same time. Time that exists in different centers at the same time.
The fragmented nature of the work serves several purposes.
First, it offers a pragmatic solution for storing and displaying a work independently, embracing the realms of public art while maintaining an intimate relationship with the viewer. Through this approach I bring to the dialogue between the individual and the collective, intimacy and questioning the function of the museum.
The created grid also corresponds with the history of art (Renaissance) - in which the division grid was used to draw.
Moreover, these squares speak of a philosophical concept. Each square, metaphorically, puts this emphasis on repetition, restart (recommencement) repetition in a different way, each time a little. Rosalind Krauss
My artistic process combines the digital and the traditional. The journey from the digital image to art, oil on tangible paper symbolizes a back-and-forth investigation, and blurs the boundaries between the virtual and physical realms. Through the interplay, there is a personal memory as well as an individual memory of each one.
My intimate connection to nature is deeply rooted in my education, especially in the years in Monrovia, Liberia 1962 - 1973. Looking through the window at nature, I aim to inspire a sense of respect for the natural world and to inspire reflection on our place within it. The meticulous attention to detail in each square invites viewers to embark on a meditative journey, where the macroscopic wonders of nature are revealed by the power of the human eye.
On this transformative work of art, the net becomes a powerful symbol in the tapestry of life.
