The reflections in the lake were what caught my attention as I stood on a hill across from Castle Howard. Lakes do not have the geometry which I painted, colors on water just slide into each other in a continuous gradient as if they are all interconnected riding on top of the water. One color just seems to slip into another, so silently. (more…)

Did he bow?  Or didn’t he bow?  This question has been in the news lately.  So…. I thought I would show you an etching done over 100 years ago.  The artist is painter Paul Klee.   Klee taught himself how to etch on zinc.  He made about 15 prints based on satire from around 1903 to 1905. 

You could probably figure out what this etching is meant to say.  Klee was very good at showing what people meant to do by making caricatures. 

If you didn’t already figure it out, these two men each think that the other has higher rank, so they are both trying to bow lower than the other.
