"The sun is God", said JMW Turner allegedly☀️ An appropriate solstice image, I think, and one I revisited yesterday at the Tate @tate.bsky.social. This unfinished painting gave me goosebumps in my early teens and the memory of that thrill still moistens my eyes 🥲 "What thou lovest well .." #jmwturner

Wow!! 😃 Having my retinas tickled by these beauties each morning would've revved up my imaginative machinery for the day's toil in '90s badvertising! I did, however, have Paolozzi's TCR 🚇 offerings instead. Am not sure which works better .. you decide 😉 #paolozzi #klint #London #transportforlondon

I’ve always been perplexed by people who need to leave the planet in order to realise how precious and beautiful it is.
