Welcome to Litsy!

Amazing!!!!! The places this really shone for me were 1 In its art analysis. The editor and main author is “an art historian specializing in the study of creative processes of Modernist artists in Mexico and Latin America” a very cool specialty that I did not know existed. He‘s done extensive research on Frida and Diego and reading his analysis of her paintings is like taking a mini art history/art appreciation course. And 2 the book itself. 👇🏼

#HyggeHour was spent reading 2 more chapters of this and staring at the artwork. Anytime I spend with Frida somehow always relaxes me and sparks a flurry of creative ideas all at the same time. #litsolace

Enjoying #hyggehour a little early this week with Frida and homemade ice pops to take my mind off the fact that it‘s about a bazillion degrees here. #litsolace

When I saw this week's list was 70s movies, I was sure I'd be at 10%. But I've seen more than I thought: I got 40%!

3 of my favorites:
1. The Muppet Movie
2. Young Frankenstein

My lovely greengrocer gave me a punnet of a sprouting plant called Atsina® Cress. All I found about this mystery plant is: “This cress is named after an old North American tribe, the Atsina Indians. They used the leaves of this plant to make a warm sweet drink to ease the pain when they had a sore throat“ https://www.koppertcress.com/en/products/atsina-r-cress and no mention of the plant's common or latin name. Any idea what this is?

I ended up with a score of 134/187. I used to be a big movie goer, at least once or twice a week. Then Covid came along, theaters shut down and I got out of the habit. Since 2020 I've seen two movies in the theater (the last Fantastic Beasts movie and Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny).

This volume published by Taschen is a stunning volume of the gorgeous artwork of Gustav Klimt.
