Do that kind of acting

Many Ridley Scott titles sit on my Favourite Films list, but I’ve never got around to watching Thelma and Louise…until now. It’s hard to believe this film is 33 years old – it’s an immaculate piece of work. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are electrifying in the title roles – performances now filed under: Do that kind of acting!

…as it looks to you

Water Lillies (Claude Monet, 1919)

“When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, a tree, a house, a field or whatever. Merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact colour and shape.”

Claude Monet
