La pittura è una professione da cieco: uno non dipinge ciò che vede, ma ciò che sente, ciò che dice a se stesso riguardo a ciò che ha visto. Pablo Picasso

Painting is a blind profession: one does not paint what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen. Pablo Picasso

There are painters who paint the sun like a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, turn a yellow spot into the sun. (Pablo Picasso)

A digital creation based on one of my photos of a beautiful meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) also known as meadow queen or lady of the meadow.

I love this plant, it is just so beautiful!

And it has given us much we can be grateful for:

The whole herb possesses a pleasant taste and flavour...and it is used to flavour wine, beer, and many kinds of vinegar. The flowers can be added to stewed fruit and jams, giving them a subtle almond flavour. Some foragers also use the flowers to flavour desserts such as panna cotta. It has many medicinal properties.

In 1838, Raffaele Piria obtained salicylic acid from the buds of meadowsweet. Thereafter in 1899, scientists at the firm Bayer used salicylic acid derived from meadowsweet to synthesise acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), which was named after the old botanical name for meadowsweet, Spiraea ulmaria. The name then became aspirin.

Painters Ridge is a road in Connecticut. I can see how it got its name.

Winter is a magical time of year, with a special and rare quietude in the air. If you’re lucky, you might even get to see a coat of snow painting the ground, trees and rooftops in a shimmering white. It also may be the most challenging season for artists
