In Here - Kelly Boesch

They've got windows that face

The wrong way in

And a streetlight that burns through the day

A hundred-foot redwood

Grown through the floor

Of a house where the lost people stay

Cloche hats

A recent post from TYWKIWDBI featured the cloche hat, a style that was popular in the 1930s. Circa 1980 a friend who knew I had a penchant for vintage clothing tossed one at me, commenting that it looked like something I’d wear. She was right. I loved that hat and wore it for years (image below).

RIP David Hockney

David Hockney
A Bigger Splash (1967)
Tate

David Hockney, the iconic British painter, has died aged 88. I discovered his work when I was still a teenager and it changed the way I looked at art. His best-known work, A Bigger Splash, defined a vision of Californian cool - so modern and unique. He was one of the most influential artists of our time.
