Foam
I was reading about symbols for ‘time’ in art tonight and came across this passage in https://www.artmajeur.com/en/magazine/5-art-history/the-representation-of-time-passing-in-art/330158 “At the very beginning of the 17th century, paintings of a new genre appeared, the Vanities .

Castlerock Beach this time

I wonder should I contact these ladies about what the swimming in the sea does for them? Maybe give a questionnaire to the two I know? Finn is a blur as he… Continue reading Castlerock Beach this time
