Mesmerizing - it reminds me stongly of Julian Trevelyan's fabulous School Print, "Harbour". What a great idea the School Prints were! Sorry can't work out how to insert the image under my new phone setup... You can find them on the Goldmark gallery web site

He creates an extraordinary sense of orderliness inside and out; each amplifying the other.

B**er. I vividly remember my father suffering with kidney stones when I was eight. It sounded rough! Does slow, deep breathing help even a little bit? Helped (a bit) with labour....

Interesting and potentially inspiring. Thank you!

Very physical and intimate. The angle makes a difference. Interesting to compare with Ravilious submarine WW2 paintings. Being in the submarines was obviously inspiring!

Love the sense of movement set against the blocky lines

Having just looked up Divisionism I can quite see this as a stepping stone. Every day a school day! Thank you!

How very moving - and timeless. I think it is the juxtaposition of moonlight and sleep for a soldier.

So easy to be seduced into anachronistic/post hoc interpretation. But the intensity of mood is palpable and, as others have said, powerful.

Beautiful! But it puzzles me a little. The artfulness makes it feel slightly surreal to me. She (the curls?) looks arranged rather than calm; perhaps lacking the innocence of sleep?

Quite extraordinary!

I agree - she seems to be thinking deeply - and uncomfortably....

2/2 The French teach (possibly taught?) writing before reading & positioned it as a gateway to reading. They taught children to make lettes with ribbon tips on the end of a stick & shortened both til it became a pencil. Occupational therapists do similar things for stroke patients who can't write...

Very useful piece. Textbooks are used less in England than many countries. I wonder how common this way of looking at them is? In S Korea textbooks are diverse, validated & revered - there's a textbook museum! Student teachers learn to criticize them for different students/problems from day1

The Ardennes is very remote and serene. This painting chimes exactly with my memory of a remote farm, space/lack of clutter, mountain air and cowbells - the centre or a very soothing hiking trip.

You are v kind! I have an absolutely fab greengrocer. They are, as yet,b eye wateringly expensive but worth every penny.

Strange to feel so connected with 1697! Nothing in this picture that would have to be different today. I'm currently luxuriating in the savour of gorgeous, green Wye Valley spears. This & the eclipse painting feel very a propos 4 the weekend. Is there, perhaps, a mother's day painting somewhere?

Goodness, how incredibly modern! Starting to discover how you can see where things come from much more clearly if you follow history of art

Why do I feel there is something a bit Ravilious about it, especially the setting?

Love it -drawn to/held by the 2 flowers above the pillar and the texture of the ealls

Marvelous although the jug shape is mug shaped!

.quite extraordinary! I wonder how long it took. It is challenging (and impressive) to think of that degree of focus in so young a mind and body.

The vividness and intensity makes me wonder whether we all concentrate differently/ better on the visual world and the flowers of spring as the light becomes stronger?

Wondering how much this has to do with the fact that is usually happens in small schools and classes where it is easier to know the children in depth & help them make deeper curric connections...

Fascinating to see the resolve onto a more traditional blue sea and sky from the misty, sand entry

The swimmers are fascinatingly realised; especially the arch of the woman's back. But how will they climb back in?

Timeless

It seems tense and intense. She will get a bad back... The ball of wool might fall... The table seems the leap off the canvas. I think being a nanny might have been shot through with tension and close attention to other people's rules and things....

Lots of clarity in the painting and the dignity of the sitter/subject make this arresting.

There is something quite Ravilious about it. If only he had lived long enough to let what he learned as a war artist roam free across a wider canvas.
