Frederick Judd Waugh, Looking West, Sunset over a beach in Cornwall, 1896, Watercolour.
In the painting dark-haired Night guides her son Sleep. His relaxed pose is set against the "more energetic line of his mother's body." Poppies, symbolic of sleep, peace, death and the artist's pacifism, are listlessly strewn by the somnolent Sleep as he passes.
A dark castle surrounded by fog.
Newly published collection of Poems by Seamus Heaney.
Mount Aetna from Taormina, Thomas Cole, 1843
A face made of pebbles.
Ancient stones on a hill stare down on a distant field.
Two feet in the surf on the shoreline
A circular opening in a garden wall
Dark clouds surround a blue sky
A semi-submerged stick sticks out of the sea.
A rusty lamppost half swallowed by trees.
Surf roars beneath a cliff.
A golden dove hanging in a Christmas tree.
A bird flies above a rough sea
Sunset over the salt marshes of East Sussex.
Surf retreats back into the sea, leaving tendrils of reflected light on the wet sand.
