Remember when I told you I wanted to do smth for my parents' birthday which totally isn't tomorrow...

I like the sheep... I struggle with the horse, the grass is too detailed, the composition is against everything I believe in and the size/perspective is off.

...

My parents are very critical btw. They are strongly connected to my inner critical voice. So, I could need some advice on how to fix... Some of this. Haha... Any ideas? I have till 7pm 20th april.

#eh... no idea how to fix traditional paintings sorry #you'll just regret it #also it looks amazing #gorgeous art is gorgeous

John Bellany - The Ettrick Shepherd (1967)

On a cultural exchange in 1967, Bellany visited the Buchenwald concentration camp. The influence this has on the artist can be seen in his exploration of the bleakness of the human condition through his art. In this painting the subject is the 19th century writer and shepherd James Hogg. His dark shadow and the acrid colours of the landscape suggest a landscape of anxiety, reflecting the contemporary troubles of mass emigration caused by the Highland Clearances. James Hogg (1770–1835) was one of Scotland’s most intriguing and original writers. He began his career as a shepherd near his birthplace in the Ettrick Forest, some 40 miles south of Edinburgh. After his literary talent was discovered by Sir Walter Scott, he published extensively in verse and prose, became acquainted with leading Romantic writers of the day, and acquired his nickname ‘The Ettrick Shepherd’ in 'Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine'. Bellany’s haunting image was painted soon after he had been deeply impressed by Hogg’s prose masterpiece 'The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner' (1824). The novel tells of the struggles of a young Scot, around 1700, against madness, evil and possession: struggles which may be seen reflected here in the gaze of the shepherd himself. (source)

"I witnessed things that were wrong," she said of her visit. "I saw Arabs being thrown out of their houses in Jerusalem. But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground . it was amazing time to be here

I'm going to start MDZS properly tonight, after years and years. I tried for the first time back in the midst of The Untamed hype (which was my first successfully watched c-drama and my introduction to danmei) but that fan translation was just one giant nope. I'm not expecting anything new or exciting from this book at this point. I did watch the drama after all, skimmed through the fan translation, read bits and pieces of it out of order and at random over the years, and have been through ALL the fandom wank and shipping wars. But I still feel guilty for never having fully read it, so here we are 😔

Well, that's horrible.

Being stabbed by Jiang Cheng sounds easier.

Eat the rich, etc.

This gross bully can't even do his smashing himself, he must send servants to do it for him. If there ever was a worthy candidate for being swallowed by an evil curse, he is it.

I feel like Mo Xuanyu would have been great friends with Mo Ran. Wei Wuxian probably would be too. Mistreated orphans, unite!
