50 days until the vernal equinox
We got a brief taste of summer.
There were displays of flowers arranged to match paintings and sculptures. Jolly well done. Fantastic work, I say. It's something I've never seen before and didn't know about and I will definitely make efforts to come here in the future, barring some sort of snowmageddon.
I came for this: a collection of Winslow Homer paintings (seriously, I thought his name was actually Winslow, Homer, but someone forgot the comma. After all, Winslow is a surname. But then again, coincidentally, Homer is a Middle English word for helmetsmith and has nothing to do with the Greek poet) and his influences (Turner, Alma-Tadema) depicting tempestuous seascapes and bucolic scenes.
originally, there was more to this painting.
some people thought the dancing figures detracted from the work.
The Convalescent
Apparently this painting was at the Higgins Armory. See if you can find the gun.
I didn't see Helmutt, though. Also, a peacock is not a flower.
I did see the dagron.
The bamboo sticks are painted here.
Except for this one here. Instead of attempting to look like the art, it blatantly contrasts it. It's meant to signify the stages of breast cancer diagnosis. I'm not entirely sure how because the pamphlet doesn't include writeups about arrangements that are based on the art.
The contrast of strong armor and fragility of the clay vessel.
The censer depicts homophones of longevity and abundance, such as fishes.
I think the docent with knobby knees' name is Davina and I think the woman who did an armor demonstration with wearable replicas is named Hannah or maybe someone wasn't talking about her at all but talking about someone else who made chain mail and the woman doing the demonstration had a name like Blueberry or Chris or Ewinda or maybe Nicola or Cervina or Maridel or Lorian, and the docent in the Dangerous Liaisons exhibition was named Morgan.
The full Crusader helmets were supplanted by helmets with adjustable visors that fit closer, because they worked just as well, if not better, and then articulated posable armor was invented around the time guns were.
Chain mail was invented by either the Celts or the Romans around 2300 years ago. You could wear it as a shirt, you could stick bits where you needed to move your body.
someone wrote in the comment book "it's incredible the amount of colors to be found in skin" and "you can't look for love where you lost it" and "November 42nd, 2934."
burning question: who thought a and d to move, space to jump, and mouse buttons to attack made a good control scheme? I'd say something about how it's not the worst control scheme I've ever seen but honestly, if I have, I can't think of it.
