I took this beautifully fragile photo in my parents garden in Wales last week. The first hard frost. Loving the juxtaposition of the summer colours and the frost crystals. Just delicious! #RoseADay #rose #fragility #frost #autumn #winter #wintersun #beauty #delicate #petals #loveofnature #photographyart #nature

Oh I love a wiggly Welsh tree scene ♥️ This is near Llygad Llwchwr in Carmarthenshire, near Carreg Cennen Castle. One of my favourite places in the world!

I absolutely ♥️ this. From 1692 Dutch artist
“Boogert’s exhaustive study includes handwritten notes and descriptions and hundreds of hand-painted color swatches. This above-and-beyond effort was not, however, made for scientific or industrial purposes but as a guide for artists, showing how to mix watercolors to make every color in the spectrum.” #art #history #watercolour #paint

A 900-Page Pre-Pantone Guide to Color from 1692: A Complete Digital Scan

Human beings got along perfectly well for hundreds of millennia without standardized taxonomies of color, but they didn’t do so in a globally connected culture full of logos, brands, and 24/7 screens.
