Moby Dick (@mobydickatsea.bsky.social) reposted
In the distance, a great white mass lazily rose, and rising higher and higher, and disentangling itself from the azure, at last gleamed before our prow like a snow-slide, new slid from the hills.

Andrew Scott is a contemporary artist renowned for his bold "frame-breaking" creations, where characters in his paintings seem to penetrate through glass. Through this unique creative approach, Scott explores themes of freedom, solitude, and resilience. Artist: @andrewscott_art #art #visualart

From around 1900 onwards, the Belgian artist Firmin Baes worked almost exclusively in pastels on canvas, rather than paper; he used a similar technique to Degas, crushing pastel sticks and mixing the pigment with water and gum arabic to make a paint that he applied with a brush.
