My bus took me past the Discovery Centre in Cambridge today. It’s absolutely beautiful and I urge you to find photos of it online. There are lots, but subject to copyright. Here’s a link to tell you more!

'Thunder Cloud,' (1912) is a gem of a painting by Tom Thomson; its virtues lie in the work's remarkable structure than in vivid colours. On the face of it, it's a fairly ordinary picture, but what lifts it is the powerful composition and the handling of the paint.
I’m surprised there’s not been more about #PeckandPeck by Bonnie Garmus. I’m 50% through and loving it. Fonts have a starring role in it, and that floats my boat. ❤️ chat about fonts! Also poetry…

Agree completely!
In 1960, doctors told Édith Piaf she was gravely ill. She was told to rest. But her beloved L’Olympia theatre in Paris was facing bankruptcy. A few weeks earlier Charles Dumont and Michel Vaucaire had brought her a new song: ‘Non, je ne regrette rien.’ She heard it once and claimed it as her own. On December 29th, “the little sparrow” walked onto the stage, motionless in her black dress, and sang with unforgettable conviction. That night she saved a theatre. Frail in body, indomitable in spirit, she remains one of the greatest singers of all time.

Christopher Wood was fond of flowers as a subject, and this painting from 1925 (influenced by van Gogh) shows a degree of maturity by which his pictures from this period were characterised. This work also reveals his understanding of colour and harmony.
I have a newspaper delivered every day. I’m very grateful for that!
