This is not a photograph, and it's not an oil painting. It might be the most unbelievable watercolor ever made...
It's called Sommarnöje, which means something like Summer Delight, and Anders Zorn painted it in 1886. Look at the water, the gentle ripples, the reflections, the wet sheen of it, and then look at the two people, the fine detail of the wooden rowboat, the woman's white dress, the light on her face.
It has the near-photographic realism of an oil painting, and it was done in watercolor, a medium so unforgiving that a single wrong stroke ruins the entire piece.
Zorn painted this in the first summer of his marriage: the woman in white waiting on the pier is his new wife, Emma, whom he had married only months before. They had just come back from their honeymoon and were staying with her family at Dalarö near Stockholm, still looking for the home where they would spend their life. The man rowing toward her is their friend Carl Gustav Dahlström. It is a real moment from the happiest season of a young couple's life, caught and held forever.
In 2010 this single sheet of watercolor sold for twenty-six million Swedish kronor, over three million dollars, the highest price ever paid for a Swedish painting.
In his own lifetime, Zorn was celebrated above all for two things: his handling of light, and his ability to paint water. Sommarnöje is where you see exactly why...

2 Will give it my same comment as I did on Substack. With watercolor, you don't paint the white parts. You let the paper do that. If you look, you can see how he used light grey to shape the dress.

4 The watercolor is amazing. And it is the most difficult medium. I am self taught and soft pastels and acrylics are easier if you make a mistake.

Wow!

Every time I tried to paint water, the paint just dissolved and floated away. Then somebody told me about water primer.

26 Anders Zorn is the most kick-ass painter! Got to visit his house and museum in Sweden, and also saw a showing of his work in San Francisco's Legion Of Honor. While this watercolor is superb, the one I fell in love with is "The Thorn Bush" which is just as realistic. He was a contemporary of John Singer Sargent, whom he met while visiting America. Also famed for working with a limited palette, supposedly only using four colors, which I doubt was the case with every single one of his paintings. You know damn well he had ultramarine blue lurking in his studio at some point.

51 I sometime point this out on the art thread -- a lot of paintings are artists trying to capture the texture and light of different materials. This is why there are so many paintings of those shimmery silk gowns, or even curtains -- because they are challenging and fun to paint.

Same with sculpture -- it is often the artist trying to become the very best at showing water flowing over toes. or fabric draping from a shoulder, in marble.

This was all before photography. After photography artists spent their time painting stuff that wasn't there.

74 I've been enjoying the Big Bang spin-off Stuart Fails To Save the Universe. The premise is Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard build a machine to allow transportation between alternate universes. Stuart trips and breaks it causing Stuart, Kripke, Bert, and Denise to be cast into alternate universes. They try to fix the machine but even when it's operational, they don't know how to use it so they're constantly being thrown into other bizarre universes as they try to return to the real universe. Kind of a comedic Quantum Leap. Other Big Bang characters appear but are different. For example, Bernadette appears as an evil witch in a magic universe. Obviously, the humor is much broader than in BBT but I think it’s well written and funny.

91 Thanks to polynikes and tankascribe for their comments about Zorn's limited color palette. Looked up some articles about it. Several demonstrate the huge range of colors that can be made from those four colors. Simply amazing.

Glad tankascribe mentioned Zorn's The Thorn Bush, another watercolor as realistic as the one above. Glad I don't have to choose which I prefer, it would take a long time.

93 Just got home. Lucy the Fink has a follow up with the urgent care vet to see if her tail lump needs excising. It has not blown up again since the last round of draining and antibiotics. It went from the size of a ping pong ball to a small almond. No oozing or redness or warmth. Her appetite is back.

Hopefully we get the “let’s just keep an eye on it” instead of “I think this needs to be surgically removed.” Because that’s expensive. And I don’t want anyone cutting on my little Fink.

Sorry. But a little shout out to St Francis would be nice if you have a couple seconds or the inclination.

112 I have long suspected that tarot opened up vulnerability to demonic oppression. I now see that as such a weak determination that it was foolishness by omission.

The Lindsaystans have swiftly convinced me that not only is tarot demonology on par with Ouija, but also, astrology is straight-up diabolism. Just star charts? They might as well be Wiccan or Crowleyist! It has taken them so far around the bend, they're doing Satan's work.

118 The lack of hurricanes is positive evidence of climate change. As the climate changes, there may be instances of no hurricanes, while at other times, there may be hurricanes that cause flooding and widespread damage. These fluctuations are due to climate change.

Those three shrews I linked above? They were enabled by weak women, and a bunch of soyboys who probably wanted a slut to pick them.

143 Astrology, Ouija, Tarot - they're just games (and pseudo-science, Astrology) with no inherent good or bad about them. What they do is focus the mind, and what that means depends on how they're used.

My first experience with Ouija, an older cousin was so obviously pushing the palette around on purpose (while denying doing so) that I thought, oh, so that's the trick. Decades later, with a trusted friend, I tried again. Neither of us had a goal or agenda, and the palette just wandered around aimlessly. I realized the wandering, as opposed to sitting still, was a product of our mutual muscle-reflex. Interesting, but not spooky in any way.

Now, of course, if some young teen girls in a dark room with candles flickering invoke some dark being, they may come up with dangerous and disturbing results (whether one of them is forcing answers or not). Like when throwing the Tarot, the "death" card comes up, and, by golly, by the voodoo power of suggestion, one of the girls does something stupid and dies. (The interpretation of the card by more careful folks is that it symbolizes end and renewal.)

Still wise not to tempt demons. Trust in God, but it's not a good idea to sit on a cliff edge.

Not just Jesus.

“There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you.”
