Players have been discussing a range of interesting topics such as: * strategy for shopping at fiber festivals, which was partially inspired by Rhinebeck but certainly applies to any festival * suggestions for patterns to use up mini-skeins  * recommendations for cruises * board game recommendations * how to balance manicures with crafting time * ideas for handmade gifts for someone going into memory care * and what to do when you've simply lost interest in a project   As usual, if you can't keep up--just jump in!     I also wandered over to the endzone dance thread today. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of pink projects, cozies, and pink cozies! But players have also recently finished a few Halloween themed projects Links below go to Ravelry: * Karen805 finished a Spiders in the House MKAL Shawl that is super cool!

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah Regan and professor emeritus of art Sam Knecht introduce the course "American Paintings." Great artists perceive something that is difficult to capture and portray it with a beauty that makes it easier for us to grasp. These American paintings present the American character and make us proud to be Americans. This course explores inspiring portraits of statesmen, cherished images of common citizens, breathtaking landscapes of the American countryside, the hidden beauty of America’s city streets, and harrowing but fortifying glimpses of battle. American art is characterized by honesty. These artists attempt to balance a faithful replica of reality with a depiction of the ideal we seek. The color, light, and movement captured in brushstrokes on canvas provide a unique glimpse of the American character. The American patriots depicted in these paintings, from our Founding Fathers through our more recent statesmen, inspire us to live up to the principles and promise of America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When painting outdoors, controlling lighting conditions is critical to achieving accurate color perception and rendering paintings that translate well when viewed indoors. Understanding how natural and artificial light interacts with your workspace and painting surface can greatly influence the final outcome. Below are comprehensive insights and techniques based on years of experience in plein air painting. 1. Qualities of an Effective Umbrella for Outdoor Painting The ideal umbrella used for outdoor painting must be opaque, preventing any light from bleeding through. The top half should be white to reflect sunlight and keep the artist cool during long outdoor sessions. The underside must be black and completely non-reflective to eliminate reflective and key light that can interfere with accurate color observation. Using an umbrella that allows light to pass or reflect will distort the lighting environment and complicate color matching. 2. The Problem with Transparent Umbrellas Transparent umbrellas permit excessive light penetration, creating an inconsistent and overly bright environment around the painting area. This excessive light causes glare and reflections on the palette and canvas, making it difficult to judge true colors and values. The uncontrolled light increases the brightness and washes out subtle color transitions, resulting in less accurate color representation during the painting process. 3. Impacts of Excessive Light Exposure on Paintings Viewed Indoors When painted under very bright light outdoors, the colors and luminosity in a painting can become misleading. Paintings created in these over-illuminated conditions often appear darker or poorly balanced when viewed under typical indoor lighting. This happens because the artist may adjust colors to compensate for the intense outdoor light, leading to undervalued color chroma and less vibrancy indoors. 4. Ideal Studio Lighting for Accurate Color Perception The best studio lighting environment features a relatively low light level, such as a 60-watt bulb controlled with an in-line dimmer switch. Less light in the studio environment encourages the artist to "push" the light and luminosity into the painting consciously. This controlled and dimmed lighting environment helps reveal true color relationships and avoids the deceptive brightness that causes color distortions. 5. Advantages of Painting Under Lower Light Conditions Paintings created under lower light conditions often appear more vibrant and luminous when viewed indoors because the artist uses higher chroma and contrast to compensate for reduced light levels. This practice results in richer, more glowing colors that maintain their intensity under a range of lighting conditions. Lower light training also enhances the artist's sensitivity to subtle tonal variations. 6. Misconceptions About Bright Studio Lighting Contrary to popular belief, bright lighting in a studio is detrimental to color accuracy. Excessive brightness leads artists to lower chroma values in their palette to counterbalance the intense illumination, which unintentionally causes the paintings to appear darker and more muted when seen under normal or dimmer lighting conditions. 7. How a 60-Watt or Lower Light Source Improves Color Perception Using a lower wattage light source improves color and luminosity perception by limiting excessive brightness that can blind the eye to subtle hues. It enables an artist to focus on tonal relationships carefully, producing paintings with a balanced color range and lively surface quality. Dimmer lighting conditions enhance the perception of glow and depth in a painting. 8.

When Alissa Quart's 90-year-old mother received a terminal diagnosis, she faced a daunting question: what to do with 400 paintings created over three decades. Her solution was unconventional, distributing the work directly to neighbors, friends, and anyone who wanted to live with her mother's art.

In this brand new series of Gem Pursuit, we step into the world of fine art to uncover the jewels hidden on canvas. Jewellery in Paintings explores how artists captured the sparkle, symbolism, and status of gems throughout history. We begin with one of the most iconic images in Western art: Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. Often called the “Mona Lisa of the North,” this enigmatic portrait has fascinated viewers for centuries. But what about the jewel itself? In this episode, we explore the mystery of the pearl, what it reveals about 17th-century Dutch society, and why such a simple adornment continues to shine as a timeless ideal of beauty. Whether you're standing in front of the painting in The Hague or simply picturing it in your mind, this episode offers a sparkling new perspective on an old master. www.courtville.ie Get social with Courtville, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok This podcast was produced for Courtville by Tape Deck

*Arteetude 301 – Flood of Silence*In this episode, Detlef and Sophia step into the uncertain future of art and creativity. What happens when AI floods the world with endless music, paintings, and films? Will human senses adapt — or grow numb? Detlef reflects on his fear of cultural oversaturation, while Sophia takes the role of a future researcher, exploring possible paths: from creative collapse to new rituals of authenticity. Between philosophy and performance, this episode asks: *what will still matter in 10 years — and how can we keep art alive as human truth?* At the end we listen to a song by Los InOrganicos.Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBandWAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" reaches along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

As we prepare for the September Equinox and enter Air Season, this episode is an invitation to notice the beauty of imperfection. Nature teaches us this lesson constantly, trees do not cling to their leaves, nor do they worry where those leaves will land. Rivers do not resist their course. The cycles of life move with perfect surrender to live, not trying to control anything. And so too can we, especially as our own identities begin to shift and release on the spiritual path. I share reflections on allowing life to get a little messy as we walk the path home, and how the shaking up of things is not a problem but part of the process. Just as nature embraces imperfection and yet reveals perfect balance, we too can find peace in our own unfolding. This conversation also explores the role of artificial intelligence in our creative lives. I share a moment when ChatGPT polished one of my writings, and a single word changed the entire meaning of what I had written. It reminded me how essential it is to let Consciousness shine through our work, beyond perfect sentences, beyond polished presentation, into the raw, real beauty of what is true. In a world moving toward flawless outputs, imperfection is where soul speaks. Finally, I return to the story of A Line Within. Back in 2019, I didn't fully understand the name, nor the practice of the Line Activation as it was first shown to me. Only now, through lived experience and continued revelation, I see how it is rooted in Ancient Yogic Science, a kriya that completes a cycle and opens the way for a new one as we move into this season. This episode is an offering for those who are ready to welcome the Equinox by releasing control, embracing imperfection, and stepping into the new with trust, presence, and alignment. * * *  RECEIVE $111 off Quantum Manifestation until August 31st BOOK Journey Home Akashic Records Reading with Faith O'Higgins APPLY for Soul Awakening Mentorship - one space left to begin in October  Codes of Destiny Workshop The Orb Method Workshop How to Read the Akashic Records workshop Join us in GUIDED — our living sanctuary of support, weekly Satsangs, monthly Line Activations, workshops, community and more.

Peter Mendelsund has two new books out. His latest novel is Weepers—about card-carrying members of a union of people who cry for a living. His memoir is Exhibitionist: 1 journal, 1 Depression and 100 Paintings. He had never painted—but the obsession with it may have saved his life.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Dutch artist famous for starry nights and sunflowers, self portraits and simple chairs. These are images known the world over, and Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) painted them and around 900 others in the last decade of his short, brilliant life and, famously, in that lifetime he made only one recorded sale. Yet within a few decades after his death these extraordinary works, with all their colour and life, became the most desirable of all modern art, propelled in part by the story of Vincent van Gogh's struggle with mental health.

Peter Mendelsund is an author, graphic designer, artist, and the creative director of The Atlantic. And this year he has two new books out about human emotion. Exhibitionist: 1 Journal, 1 Depression, 100 Paintings is personal memoir, diary, and showcase of the art he created during a serious bout of depression in 2020. And his new novel Weepers is about a group of professional mourners living in a world gone numb. Mendelsund joins to discuss both books.

They're in the books we read, the shows we watch, and the art we hang on our walls. They conjure notions of might, magic, romance, and more. Castles, perhaps as much as any other architectural structure in history, define the landscape of our fantasy and imagination. But is our imagination an accurate lens through which to view these fortresses of ol'? And why, after hundreds of years, does our culture's fascination with these structures seem to be on the rise? This hour, we speak with experts and enthusiasts about the reality and mystique of castles. GUESTS: Marc Morris: Medieval historian and author of books including Castles: Their History and Evolution in Medieval Britain Victor Lodato: Playwright, poet, and novelist whose books include Edgar and Lucy Edward Town: Assistant Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the Yale Center for British Art Brent Bruns II: - Star of the hit National Geographic reality TV show "Doomsday Castle" The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, Kiara Cristina Ventura sits down with multidisciplinary artist Kiarita within their debut solo exhibition home[body] at Hausen in Brooklyn to explore the delicate architecture of intimacy and queer eroticism. Set amid hidden paintings and altar-like assemblies inside found vintage furniture, the conversation touches on how safety and “chosen family” is woven through acts of communion. This dialogue delves into sensual textures, concepts around love & relationships, and the ways rest becomes resistance.About Kiarita:Born in Hackensack, NJ (1999) and based in Brooklyn, Kiarita is a Dominican artist working across painting and sculpture. In home[body]—curated by Usen Esiet (March 6 – August  31, 2025)—their “queering of the antique” and lush, tactile painting technique reveal sensuous moments within the found furniture. Inspired by Audre Lorde's "Uses of the Erotic, The Erotic as Power," the exhibition embraces eroticism “as a resource within each of us,” using intimacy and rest as tools of resistance. Kiarita holds a BFA in Visual & Critical Studies from SVA and is currently a Bronx AIM and New York Van Lier Trust Fellow. Their work has been honored by Rema Hort Mann Foundation and the Sylvia Lipson Allen Memorial Fund.Connect with Kiarita:scintillating.space | @sacralrise------This episode is part of PROCESSA TALKS, a podcast and curatorial series by Processa—a roving platform founded by Kiara Ventura that supports experimental exhibitions, conversations, and collaborations with Black and Brown artists.Learn more and check out our programs at: processa.artSupport the podcast and our physical space: processa.art/donateIntro audio credit (non-profit use) : yogic beats

Brooklyn-based artist and sometimes New Yorker magazine cartoonist Guy Richards Smit returns to the podcast eight years after his first visit to talk about: His admitted high self-regard, paired with self-awareness, which we identify as being rare; our respective experiences and takes on artist blowhards; his history with cartooning, going back to his obsession with gag cartoons, going back to a New Yorker cartoon book he read at his grandparents' house when he was a kid; how he started making his own gag cartoons; the steps he took to build his cartoon portfolio, leading to getting published in the New Yorker after a year and a half of submitting (which is much quicker than some); the cartoon he made for the New Yorker website, the ‘Daily,' that went viral (receiving 1500 comments, not to mention other viral stats), including getting re-created in Turkish by a Turkish cartoonist; how he actually sees the cartoons as sketches for paintings (and gets quite painterly in the making of them); how about half of his cartoons are more insider-baseball-art cartoons, and the one he made that references one artist that he had in mind, although several reactions interpreted it as another artist, whom Guy actually heard from, wondering if it was about them. In the 2nd half of our conversation, available to Patreon Supporters of the podcast, you'll hear Guy talk about: How the parameters for where art can come from have changed, and how humor in art is still held, especially in the U.S., as a bit off limits; how his desire to paint a rock led to his Sisyphus cartoon (every cartoonist wants to do a Sisyphus cartoon); his desire to make a put out cartoons that are beautiful, not really a quality that the cartoon editor, or even cartoon consumers, are necessarily looking for; why the New Yorker cartoonists haven't been able to form a union, which is related to why there aren't really any other high-profile venues for gag cartoons to be seen; how he didn't have a gallery for 15 years, and was “forced to sell” his own work, using Instagram successfully for sales in the pre-algorithmic takeover era, when he got three to four times more engagement than he gets now (and thankfully for him he now doesn't require sales thru IG as much); his new dealer, Adam Cohen, who opened the gallery A Hug from The Art World three years ago; and how wanting to draw a Miro sculpture led to one of his most popular and most responded to cartoons at the Independent art fair in NYC this past spring.

[REBROADCAST FROM April 14, 2025] Curator Aimee Ng discusses the reopening and renovations of the venerable Frick Collection, including what exhibits to check out. 

[REBROADCAST FROM April 18, 2025] Today is the opening of the Guggenheim's major survey of artist Rashid Johnson, who was born in Chicago in the late 1970s. "Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers," displays almost 90 pieces, including paintings, films, sculptures, and a site-specific installation at the top of the museum's rotunda. Johnson discusses his practice alongside Naomi Beckwith, Guggenheim deputy director and chief curator.

At 96 years old, Jimmy Pattison still runs his $16 billion empire personally.  He's built it over 63 years without outside capital or a college degree. He owns 100% of car dealerships, billboards, radio stations—even Ripley's Believe It or Not—with a philosophy of: "No partners, no shareholders, no relatives."  This episode reveals the principles behind one of North America's great private empires: how to build and compound a reputation, why the best deals happen in silence, and what a Japanese bicycle taught him about operational excellence. You'll learn the hidden advantage of selling “souvenir editions” instead of newspapers, how he turned a ghost radio station into a ratings leader overnight, and why he once fired the entire bottom 10% of his staff—then took them out for steak.  Most people play for approval. Pattison plays for permanence through reputation, relentless clarity, and never mistaking flash for fundamentals.  This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Jimmy: An Autobiography by Jim Pattison and Paul Grescoe.  Check out highlights from these books in our repository, and find key lessons from Pattison here—⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/outliers-jimmy-pattison/ Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: （00:00) How a Teen Sold Yesterday's News（01:10) Jimmy Pattison's Billion-Dollar Playbook（03:24) The Debt That Built Character（05:41) Part 1: Foundations - The Boy Who Sold Seeds Door-To-Door（06:52) When Victory Becomes a Liability（08:46) The University of Used Cars（10:02) The Art of the Close（13:30) When Business Becomes Theater（15:22) The Price of Independence（16:36) The Pattern（17:44) Part 2: Starting to Build - Back to Zero（18:09) The Price of Independence（20:08) Bleeding Money（21:11) The Secret Weapon（22:11) The Main Street Disaster（23:09) Dead Air to Hot Air（24:33) The Ghost Station（25:40) The Conglomerate Dream（27:03) The Target（28:24) Cold Calling Wall Street（29:35) The Silent Hunt（30:49) The Takeover（31:36) Part 3: Neonex International - Perfect Timing, Wrong Direction（32:09) The Magic Money Machine（34:17) The Toast Order（35:06) The Forbidden Target（36:15) The Christmas Surprise（37:27) The Bluff（38:07) The Unraveling（39:07) The Education（40:27) Part 4: The Jim Pattison Group of Companies - Returning the Paintings（40:49) The Corporate Confession（42:08) The New Operating System（44:01) The Dinner That Changed Everything（46:23) The Great Escape（47:31) The Boy and the Bicycle（49:07) The Quality Revolution（51:14) Part 5: The Empire Builder - Still at the Wheel（51:47) The New Playbook（54:17) The Grocery Gambit（55:13) The Media Monopoly（55:52) The Numbers Game（57:20) The Ultimate Lesson（59:15) Reflections and Lessons Upgrade—If you want to hear my thoughts and reflections at the end of all episodes, join our membership: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠fs.blog/membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and get your own private feed.

In this tender and illuminating episode, I open with reflections on the energetic shifts moving through my life right now. I share the story of a guardian spider who watched over our home and has now disappeared, and a tree that stood strong in our yard until it had to be cut down. These signs in nature often mirror what's stirring within - and this episode is full of that reflection. I'm also joined by our beautiful GUIDED sister Bethany, who vulnerably shares a deeply personal journey through a recent health crisis and the spiritual awakening that emerged from it. What began as an intense diagnosis became a portal - into deeper connection, healing, and the sacred fire of Kundalini rising. Through spiritual practice, voice activation, and the loving presence of our GUIDED community, Bethany has witnessed a profound shift in her energy, clarity, and wellness. If you're moving through a season of transformation - whether in your health, your home, or your heart - may this episode remind you that you are not alone. You are deeply held, always guided, and always supported.
