"Brantwood is a country house in Cumbria, England, overlooking Coniston Water. It has been the home of a number of prominent people, including John Ruskin. The house and grounds are administered by a charitable trust, the house being a museum dedicated to Ruskin.
"In 1871 the house was sold to John Ruskin who it is claimed had never previously seen it. However, Kitchin and Ruskin were friends, having met at Oxford, so it is likely he may have had some prior knowledge of the property. Before Ruskin came to Brantwood in the following year, he arranged for repairs to the house, the addition of a turret, the building of a lodge for his valet and his family and for improvements to the garden.
"For a short time during his stay at Brantwood, Ruskin held tutorial sessions, what would be called today as teaching seminars. These were held three times each week and each day a different subject was covered, namely Art, Literature and Sociology. His evening assistant when he was absent was a Richard Hosken who had been a former student.
"When he was in residence, Ruskin filled the house with art, including paintings by Gainsborough, Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites and a collection of minerals, pottery and sea-shells. Ruskin was joined in the house by Arthur Severn, an artist married to Joan Agnew, his cousin and their growing family. A frequent visitor to the house was William Gershom Collingwood, painter, archaeologist and translator of Nordic sagas who lived nearby. In 1878 a new dining room was built at the south end of the house. A second storey was added around 1890 to provide additional rooms for the Severn family and a studio was built at the rear of the house for the use of Arthur Severn. During this time the estate was also extended."

I started back at TAFE today (my animal studies course).
When the teacher took the class role, and called my name, she said "oh.. Elyse.. I thought you had gotten into vet nursing?.."
To which I replied "Well, no one contacted me about it, no email, no phone call, no letter in the mail..."
*sigh*
So I'm not sure what happened there..
I do want to finish this Companion Animal Services certificate anyways.. which will finish up in June of this year. Then hopefully I'll be able to start Vet Nursing next year.

Study of an Old Woman
By Nicholaes Maes
This drawing shows the same woman featured in Study of an Old Woman hanging nearby, but the technique is very different. Here there are no careful, feather-light contours, but strong, almost bold, outlines and heavily accentuated hatching lines.

Part of Nicolaes Maes: Dutch Master of the Golden Age
(February to September 2020)
From illicit goings-on in servants’ quarters to portraits of high society, Nicolaes Maes captured life upstairs and downstairs in the Dutch Golden Age.
Starting his career as one of Rembrandt’s most talented pupils, this exhibition – the first in the UK devoted to Maes – charts the artist’s rise to fame.
Through nearly 50 paintings and drawings, it follows Maes’s move away from paintings of historical and biblical scenes, where Rembrandt’s influence is most clear, to the scenes of everyday life and portraits that made him one of the most sought-after artists of his time.
Maes was an astute businessman, and produced over 900 portraits, adapting his style to reflect the high fashion and decoration of the second half of the 17th century. But it is his ‘genre’ scenes – which often feature the central character eavesdropping and breaking the fourth wall to interact directly with the viewer – which best reveal Maes’s inventive and distinct style.

Nature Color Studies.
Yet again „the walk“, I guess you know every single tree as well as I do right now ... BUT: I tried few things with the rendering, both while taking the shots and when processing them. When shooting I used a Kenko Nostaltone Orange, which is basically a diffusor and warming filter combined. That's where the color and softness comes from. I used a zoom lens all the way open, which gives vignette and fall off and a bit of additional softness. when proscessing them in LR and PS I payed attention to „fill the highlights with color“ and control the highlights in general. There was a beautiful „soft sunshine“ today (partially cloudy), and the light was so nice I hope I could capture that a little bit at least.

The white coral on the desk was shown for education. Thailand has own way to grow to coral.
I wrote blogs for my myspace and wordpress account long time ago.
I talked about I went to grow the coral. But not in here. I went to grow at the south of Thailand.
Koh Chang is in the east of Thailand.
You can try with your friends. It is easy to grow the coral.
But you have to do very fast.

I always visit Thai sea to see my beloved coral. One of those times, I had a chance to grow coral.
1. Prepare the PVC tube, Snokering????? and small screw
2. Go to pick a living coral in the sea. (Only for the coral in antler shape)
3. Break it to be smaller pieces.
4. Put each pieces in PVC tube and screw it. (Please do 3-4 very quickly.)
5. Turn the coral into the sea as fast as you can.
and my rough drawing to describe the method
