WYSIWYG

What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms

May birthday boys... and yes, it's all male again. Sigh. We begin with one William Lawes, born on the 1st of May, 1602, in Salisbury, England. Very much of the early Baroque style of composer, the few works I worked through all tended to the sonorous, one might even say, ponderous. This is the shortest item I found... entertaining for the instruments and earnestness of the players, giving some life to some otherwise rather lifeless music... or is that just me? There may be a reason Lawes is not widely known!

Menonday Art Vibe: Home Hangs Series

The final one from The Hutch collection (you've seen not the entirety, but a fair few!) During my stay in India, I had the opportunity to visit an art collective in the Himalayan town of Sidhabari. There, the specialism is Kangra painting. I have three original artworks, as well as a collection of printed cards - here I share the originals. To round off the home hangs series, I also add a picture of my gallery wall in the lounge, upon which I gaze every day. The three larger ones on the top row are my own work, photographic and mixed media.
