Eugène-Louis Boudin This work is not typical of the artist, and I find that interesting. What was he thinking? In what direction was he going?

Thanks for the insight into your thoughts, CBD. It made me curious enough to look him up. His life seems to have spanned the eras of Realism to Post-Impressionism, which shows in his work. I'm seeing styles reminiscent of Courbet, the Barbizons, Manet, and Morisot. It appears he taught Monet en-plein-aire. He provides an interesting link between 19th century movements.

A federal
judge issued a nationwide injunction Thursday against the Trump
administration for delaying the Obama-era Waters of the United States
rule, dealing a setback to a key piece of President Trump's deregulatory
agenda.
The decision by the U.S. District Court in South Carolina
means that the so-called Clean Water Rule is again operative in 26
states where district courts have not halted the regulation.

The judge was appointed by HW Bush.

A quick scan of his body of work, I'm not sure I see whatever it is you see that makes this piece so atypical.
It's quite evocative, and frankly I think the lack of fine detail is part of its artistic appeal. It speaks of the... sorry to have to borrow the silly french word, but it is appropriate... ennui of the women.

Because the Supreme Court and the Congress allow it, by doing nothing about it. Either of them could stop it if they wanted to, I'm hoping that with Gorsuch on the Court instead of Kennedy, this might happen.
Congress could also stop this easily, but Congress is worthless no matter who's running it.

I think I heard somewhere -- probably in a class lecture -- that Bosch's birdmen were based on those plague masks. Since the Black Plague was thought to be God's judgement, it makes sense that Bosch would think of them in his interpretation of Hell.

Oh...
(CHORUS):
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
Their sails are in sight
Shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home
Why don't 'cha hurry hurry hurry home
Look here! The shrimp boats is a-comin'
There's dancin' tonight
(Shrimp boats is a-comin', there's dancin' tonight)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(SLOWLY):
They go to sea with the evenin' tide
And the women folk wave their good-bye
(There they go... There they go)
While the Louisiana moon floats on high
And they wait for the day when they can cry...
(CHORUS)
(SLOWLY):
Happy the days while they're mending the nets
'Til once more they ride out to sea
(There they go... There they go)
Then how lonely the nights will be
'Til that wonderful day when they sing...
(CHORUS)
(Shrimp boats is a-comin' - there's dancin'
There's dancin' There's dancin' There's dancin' ...)
Shrimp boats is a-comin' - there's dancin' tonight!

Saw something cool in the Home Depot parking lot this morning. A hawk swooped down into one of the decorative trees and nailed a dove. Big commotion in the tree, then the dove falls about 8 feet to the ground. The hawk just pulls in his wings and drops onto the dove with both talons. Big cloud of feathers.
This is about 20 feet in front of me.
Then, with the dove still twitching under his feet, the hawk looks over at me all mad dogging, like "whadda youse lookin' at, jibroni?"
Made my morning.

Because the Supreme Court and the Congress allow it, by doing nothing about it. Either of them could stop it if they wanted to, I'm hoping that with Gorsuch on the Court instead of Kennedy, this might happen.
Congress could also stop this easily, but Congress is worthless no matter who's running it.

this morning. A hawk swooped down into one of the decorative trees and
nailed a dove. Big commotion in the tree, then the dove falls about 8
feet to the ground. The hawk just pulls in his wings and drops onto the
dove with both talons. Big cloud of feathers.
This is about 20 feet in front of me.
Then, with the dove still twitching under his feet, the hawk looks
over at me all mad dogging, like "whadda youse lookin' at, jibroni?"
Made my morning.
Posted by: IllTemperedCur at August 17, 2018 10:12 AM (veoSD)
Mad respect for the birds of prey. The silly looking owl is one of my favorites. They have all those feathers, the goofy face, the calm demeanor of a critter that don't take no guff from nobody.
And they swoop. Nobody else in the world swoops. Just those big ol' birds, with their talons and beaks and eyes.
Truly, whoever figured out these things are the evolutionary perfection of dinosaurs... they knew what they were talking about.

But the thing I remember best
Was grey-haired old Patch Eye
And the stories that he'd tell me about
His younger days as we
Watched the ships go by
He'd talk about his missing eye
He would talk about his wooden leg
But he'd never talk about the old tattoo
On his right arm that said 'Meg'

going to have to be compared to JMW Turner, there is one fact of
Turner's work that is clear (pun intended): The older he got, the worse
his eyesight got, the more his work seemed to evaporate into less
distinct shapes. He never stopped trying to work with colors, to create a
vision of the world in ways that were deeply meaningful in simplicity,
even when he took such great pains to create them. And as his sight
worsened, so his paintings became a strikingly beautiful blur.
It's possible some of that is occurring with this fella too.

Put in to Gloucester once while taking a sailboat up the coast for a friend of my family. There is an old church there where the names of those lost at sea are on the wall. The list is long and hard to look at. It had been recently updated and, yes, there was space for more. It was that summer that I re-read Moby Dick for the first time since high school. I have re-read it several times since then.

I once saw a raptor being released back into the wild after being rehabbed for and being immediately pursued by some smaller birds.
Pro tip:never pick up an injured raptor. Their talons are coated with bacteria.

Many years ago, I was walking to work, and heard a bunch of birds making a terrible racket in a tree. I looked around a bit, and saw some sort of hawk (or some other bird of prey) perched in the middle of the tree, and the squawking birds arrayed around it.
More recently, on a trip to the coast, we got to watch some larger bird of prey get chased off by a flock of smaller birds. That was pretty entertaining.

Mockingbirds are the most aggressive by far, followed by the Bluejays, if they've got a nest nearby. And a bunch of crows will give a hawk a bad time just for the hell of it. Crows always give one the impression that they're a lot smarter than they have any right to be.

We have hawks all over the place. One of them is stalking me, he sits on the pole the bird feeders are mounted on and looks in the windows.
Yesterday he was sitting on the corner of the roof when we came home from walking the dogs just watching us.
Not sure what he is after unless it's the little tweety birds that come to the feeders. Never seen him try and grab one and they eat with him sitting there.

If it's a red tailed hawk, he's probably waiting on a squirrel or rabbit to visit under the feeder. They have to be real hungry to go after birds.

So Turner went to the public exhibition part and put up a canvas with his name on it that just had a few paint strokes across it and a suggestion for a painting sketched out in charcoal lines - the thing an artist would have just laying around his studio. He put that in as his entry, and everyone scoffed at it and said he had clearly gone mad.
On the last day, when touch ups and corrections were allowed, he walked in with his box of paints and brushes and sat down in front of the canvas, saying nothing. He started to work, and quickly gathered a crowd as his hands flew across the canvas, arranging scenes, mixing his colors. He worked with complete focus for 8 straight hours, never going back, painting furiously, but as if he was just copying the picture from the image he already had in his head. After 8 hours, he suddenly stopped completely, looked hard at the painting for a moment, and then simply dropped his brush, stood up, and walked away, saying nothing.
Of course the painting was absolutely brilliant, and of course it won the grand prize at the judging that night.

There's a story about a dissolute 18th-century English duke known for his lechery. It was rumored that he took a daily bath in milk to keep his scrofula-infested skin clean.
The duke was also known as a cheapskate, and the rumor went on that, after his bath, the duke had the milk taken away and resold to the poor.
It caused quite a drop in the consumption of milk in London for a while.

I saw some site that showed SURFACE temperatures of Lake Superior, and that ranged from close to freezing (duh), all the way up to 60 deg F during the summer. Mostly it was between 50-60 during the summer months.
I don't know what they define as 'surface', or how deep it goes, but if the wind blows, then it will obviously be colder.
