What Turner's sketchbooks tell us about his love of travel.

"For JMW Turner, sketchbooks allowed him to capture the world around him while he was travelling. The books came in all shapes and sizes, containing beautifully detailed watercolours and the quickest of pencil sketches, as well as shopping lists, medical advice..."

Well worth your time. (Take my sketchbook!)

How copyright chaos reigns among the UK’s top cultural institutions

The perennial attempts to widen the reach of copyright in the pursuit of yet more revenue is something that is to be expected from companies. After all, maximising profits is basically what companies do. But as previous Walled Culture posts have lamented, there is also a widespread tendency among non-profit cultural institutions – museums, art galleries, libraries etc. – to use copyright […]

One last #TateGallery picture. But no blurb. It's by #Constable who had his own room alongside all the #Turner paintings.

It's also near #Brighton and was part of a set. We have been joking about Constable all week, from the info we gained. He did one large piece, it took him 13 years to get it right. He painted a local scene, turned the church into a windmill, then back again ( you can see the oil paint layers). He covered everything in white paint when he wasn't happy with it.

Very impressive in real life, less so here.

I'm not a fan of modern day Halloween, however may peace come to all disturbed souls, just like this boat sailing through the snow storm and finally finding a safe harbour.

Starting Wednesday with a picture I particularly liked from #TateGallery

I liked the limited colour range. It also is nostalgic of its time, and it's by a female painter. Does that matter? Yes, at the time it did. This was another point the gallery interpretation boards were making - artists used to be all male...

I'm aware #rkive doesn't give you all these thoughts, just throws some art at you & runs...

Take care. Dream of reading a book on a chintz couch in the sunshine.
