Painting Nadya ❤

Interesting illusions. Straight lines are parallel and circles are round. The pattern matters




Lindsey Kustusch, an American artist, is known for her infernal cats, ravens, and cityscapes (particularly of San Francisco). Her works predominantly feature ravens and nocturnal urban scenes. Although I haven’t attached all her pieces here (there must be a hundred or so), her paintings are perfect for bedroom decor. There’s something special about her work.
Just a reminder, similar posts are grouped under the tag #artrauflikes, and you can find all 99 pieces on beinginamerica.com in the “Art Rauf Likes” section (unlike Facebook, which neglects nearly half of them).












I am reading At Home by Bill Bryson. It turns out, ‘adulterate’ isn’t very connected to ‘adultery,’ though of course some parallels can be drawn.

Also a very interesting illusion. These plates are turned upside down. All except for one. When you find it, all the other plates will flip back “into place”.
So, how can you “unsee” this now? 🙂

This is the better half of my collection of books on drawing and painting. If anyone is interested, I recommend all of them. Among those presented, the most useful is alla prima, then Solomon, the rest are hard to rank.

This is a very, very good channel on English pronunciation. The creator really goes all out, preparing simply fabulous and lengthy videos on various topics, yet for some reason remains very “niche” with only 50K subscribers.
There are about fifty videos on his channel; they are released infrequently, but each one is a treasure trove of very interesting information about English pronunciation, and very useful tips specifically for Russian speakers on how to improve their pronunciation. I think I’ve watched them all.
And now, after a long hiatus, another one has just been released. Highly recommend it.
