Luna.
Evelyn de Morgan.

de Morgan's allegorical and spiritual image of 'luna' represents the human soul, bound to earth during life, in the same way the Moon is gravitationally bound, but able to soar to the heavens after death. Lovely subtle colours.

Girl with a Pearl Earring.
Johannes Vermeer.

This has been much imitated by people in photographs in the last few days. The painting is a particular type, peculiar to the Netherlands and a few other places, called a 'tronie', an exotic 'type'. An iconic one.

Supper at Emmaus.
Caravaggio.

One of two paintings he made of this subject. It shows the exact moment the two disciples realise their companion of the day was Jesus himself. But look at the servant, he has no idea who Jesus is but is now aware he is special.

Long time no draw before bedtime. Just a little cool down.

Alfie could hardly wait until bedtime.

They had supper in the kitchen, jacket potatoes and baked beans.

Then they set out. It was strange not to be going upstairs to bed but down the garden, through the gate and into the field.
