Oxford :
Divinity School, voûte en style Perpendicular (1427-83) - dessin de William Orchard 1480
Elliot: “The whole truth is just way, way too complicated to be put into a book to study. I also believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution, but not wholly. But I think there are bits of truth in all religion we have been given, and we just need to know what the important bits are and pick them up.”
Female photographer: “Wow. That was pretty profound. But I still don’t quite understand what it has to do with art…”
Elliot: “Your hands, your eyes, your skin… Everything about you that you create art with is the shell, the tools that you have been given. The tools you use come from your divinity.”
Female photographer: “Ah, okay...”
(Elliot’s phone peeps)
Female photographer: “Aren’t you going to answer that?”
The Divinity School is a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, England, part of the University of Oxford. Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures, oral exams and discussions on theology. It is no longer used for this purpose, although Oxford does offer degrees in Theology and Religion taught by its Faculty of Theology and Religion.
The ceiling consists of very elaborate lierne vaulting with bosses (455 of them), designed by William Orchard in the 1480s.
The building is physically attached to the Bodleian Library (with Duke Humfrey's Library on the first floor above it), and is opposite the Sheldonian Theatre where students matriculate and graduate. At the far end from the Bodleian Library entrance, a door leads to Convocation House (built 1634–7).[1]
Divinity Lotus - 1929
Agnes Pelton (1881 - 1961)
Agnes Pelton imbued her paintings of nature and flowers with personal spiritual meaning, carrying ideas about spirituality in nature into the twentieth century. Divinity Lotus is an abstracted form of the lotus flower, which carries divine meaning in Hindu, Buddhist, and Egyptian traditions.
As a founding member of the Transcendental Painting Group, based in Taos, New Mexico, Pelton adhered to the principle, "to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world, through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual.

This World Class attraction was everything we expected and more. Construction has just begun on a major expansion, but that has been managed in such a way that it does not in any way detract from the experience now.
This album focuses on the artwork inside the buildings and on the other interior spaces including the Eleven Restaurant and the Gift Shop. A separate album posted a few days ago is devoted to the two April mornings that we spent exploring just some of the trails that crisscross the 120 acres of Arkansas forest around the museum.
Alice Walton and her co-creative team can be proud of the vision and execution of everything on this 120 acre site.

new vendor at Intergem. He has the most amazing collection of gemstones. I treated myself to the London blue topaz smooth briolettes, which are incredible in their size and clarity. The pink amethyst teardrops were a bargain. I just wish I could have afforded the beads set with precious gems in 24k gold - I might have to treat myself to one some day.
