Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) was a Danish artist known for his portrayal of light in quiet rooms – and his love of grey 👨‍🎨
We just launched the Vilhelm Hammershøi Digital Archive at https://hammershoi.smk.dk.
It's a frontend for vast amounts of data produced by studying 130 paintings in great detail over 5 years 🔬
The site is meant for conservators and anyone interested in the technical aspects of art history 🧑‍🔬
We made it as #openaccess as we could!

**ACHIEVED shared 3rd place in FAA Contest - "MOSAIC EXPRESSIONS II" July 2025.

An image of an owl that I created with digital art and digital painting, and enhanced in Photoshop.

Owls are birds from the order Strigiformes, which includes over 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the gregarious burrowing owl. — **ACHIEVED shared 3rd place in FAA Contest - "MOSAIC EXPRESSIONS II" July 2025.

#GoodNews to share 😃

I've been catching up with my #IndigenousArtist friend for the past hour. She's been accepted as an aboriginal artist in residence at a downtown Victoria studio.
#VancouverIsland #VisualArts Society:
https://wearevivas.ca/

She's invited me into the studio & I'll share photo updates from there, this month. We're going to collaborate on some visual arts while she works her 4 month #ArtistResidency. I'll be helping her with hide tanning work too.

It's Jada's first artist residency placement! I'm so happy for her to be given this fabulous opportunity! She's an amazing friend, woman, artist, activist, community helper & Mother ❤️

I captured this image in an old museum on mid north coast, NSW, Australia.

Clothes washer technology developed as a way to reduce the manual labor spent, providing an open basin or sealed container with paddles or fingers to automatically agitate the clothing. The earliest machines were hand-operated and constructed from wood, while later machines made of metal permitted a fire to burn below the washtub, keeping the water warm throughout the day's washing.

The earliest special-purpose washing device was the scrub board, invented in 1797.

By the mid-1850s, steam-driven commercial laundry machinery was on sale in the UK and US. Technological advances in machinery for commercial and institutional washers proceeded faster than domestic washer design for several decades, especially in the UK. In the US there was more emphasis on developing machines for washing at home, though machines for commercial laundry services were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The rotary washing machine was patented by Hamilton Smith in 1858. As electricity was not commonly available until at least 1930, some early washing machines were operated by a low-speed single-cylinder hit and miss gasoline engine.

After the items were washed and rinsed, water had to be removed by twisting. To help reduce this labor, the wringer/mangle machine was developed. — I captured this image in an old museum on mid north coast, NSW, Australia.

August is American Artist Appreciation Month! We’re celebrating Corita Kent, also known as Sister Mary Corita! The acclaimed artist and teacher used painting and calligraphy to convey ideas about peace, racial harmony and social justice.

Lesson 3 The Power of Corita Kent’s Calligraphic Art in our free Rebel Hearts Curriculum Guide features a hands-on Visual Arts lesson suitable for grades 9-12 based on Sister Mary Corita’s artwork. It’s a powerful tool to help students find their voice through multi-media artwork.

You and your students can learn more about Sister Mary Corita / Corita Kent, her revolutionary protest art, and her time as a nun in the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary with award-winning documentary Rebel Hearts and the Rebel Hearts Curriculum Guide.
