Steeds minder kinderen groeien op in een gezin met alleen een werkende vader. In de meeste Nederlandse gezinnen werkt de vader voltijd en de partner deeltijd. Een constructie waarin beide ouders deeltijd werken, komt ook steeds vaker voor.

Ok so I was just searching for an old toot of mine. I didn’t find it.

But I did find that a bot or whatnot curated a lovely little portfolio for me. That was so nice of nobody to do that. I’m flattered.

I’m going to carefully place this potentially sketchy URL at the bottom.

It must scan for hashtag activity. I’m curious to know.

Golden hour at The Colosseum in Rome – #steeds

#MastoArt #Photography (by me)
#PhotoMonday #FotoMontag

Landscape-orientation, color photo of The Colosseum in Rome. The late afternoon sun gives the bricks a golden color. I was standing next to it with camera pointed up. The perfectly clear blue sky shows though the numerous arches and contrasts nicely with the warm-toned brick.

I was quiet as possible, but all I heard was silence.

Photo I took in Puerto Rico circa 2014 – #steeds

Sepia toned photo of a tall and slender humanoid statue isolated against the puffy clouds of a warm summer's day. The human appears to be playing a flute and has a large, wingspread bird perched on shoulder.

Here is another photo I took of #NiagraFalls from the same set as the #BlackAndWhitePhoto above – #steeds

Warm-toned color photo of niagara falls. The sun-kissed water flows from right to left before descending to a crash. The mist rises taller than the fall and dominates the upper left frame. The bottom half frame is mainly water about to fall off the cliff. Puffy dark-bottomed clouds float along the top frame.

#PhotoMonday #FotoMontag #MastoArt #Graffiti #Photography (by me) #AltText

Extremely colorful color photo of a brick wall that has numerous layers of spray painted graffiti. It's a rainbow of scribbled words. The top layer of graffiti features the word "VIDE" painted neatly in yellow, and it takes up most of the upper frame. Lower frame, someone has created a community VHS tape rental operation by glueing VHS tapes to the graffitied wall. There are four vertical columns of movies; each labeled by one of the following genres (from left to right): New Releases, Drama, Romance, Comedy.

I feel like I should really know who this person is, but I have no idea.

Anybody know who this is? It's a sticker I found on a parking garage window – #steeds

Close-up, Portrait orientation, color photo of a black and white sticker of a person's head on a window. I'm very close to the sticker and it takes up most of the lower half the frame. It appears to be floating. I think it's a man with 1970's style glasses and hair. He looks like a cross between Bill Gates and Kurt Vonnegut.

#Chicago mornings can be eerily silent...

Perhaps someone can help me remember who the sculptor is? – #steeds

Update: Thank you @Cathrynamidei ! The artist is Magdalena Abakanowicz, Polish sculptor (1930-2017). This work is entitled “Agora”, which is a permanent installation located at the southern end of Chicago's Grant Park.

#SilentSunday #Photography #MastoArt #WomensHistoryMonth

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magdalena_Abakanowicz?wprov=sfti1

This must be a famous sculpture in a prominent Chicago park. It's a heavily desaturated and grainy photo I took. There must be at least 20 tall, black figures that have no head or arms, long legs and veiny large feet, and are scattered randomly along a thick concrete sidewalk. Sun from the right cast shadows left. I believe The Sears Tower can be seen in the city skyline beyond.

I was lucky enough to visit Rome and Florence in 2014.

The narrow streets and silent little corridors fascinated me – #steeds

Portrait orientation, Color photo I took from the dark end of a slender, brick-pathed alleyway. Tall, browned concrete buildings flank each side, while various pipes and electrical lines run horizontally; leading the eye towards the opposite end where two red bicycles are suddenly drenched by light of day.

This is my best attempt at pumpkin carving. Happy #Caturday! – #steeds

Color photo of the jack-o-lantern I carved using a spooky cat stencil. The cat is sitting with ears down and tail off to the side. The cat's neck is exaggerated, long and cartoonish. I painted the cat black.

Part III of:

I've been slowly working on a #FineArt #Photography project where I get super close to a window and take a picture.

The resulting images sometimes seem surreal because I partly capture what's inside the building, while also capturing part of the window's reflection.

I think I took this #photo in Puerto Rico circa 2013. A shop had this awesome poster hanging in the window. Edit: It’s Diego Rivera! – #steeds

Sepia-toned digital image taken through a window. The shop had a unique poster taped to the glass in front of a folded room divider. Remnants of the reflected background blend with the vertical folds of the divider. Behind me are various plants, a building and an old truck. The poster features a confident looking man with his arms crossed. Miniature murals surround him. Men in hats working top left and right. A painting of a dark-haired woman at his right elbow, a painting of a sombrero wearing man to his left. A sketch of the devil appears lower left frame. A faded note handwritten in cursive Spanish appears lower right.

It’s like art or something. I call it “U.S. Banks And Infrastructure” — #steeds

Photo of a gray, decrepit sidewalk that is crumbling all over the place and needs regulatory scrutiny as soon as possible.

We’ll soon be back to warm breezes and fragrant flowers.

Looking through my spring/summer phone #photography from last year on #SilentSunday — #steeds

A brown, orange, black and white butterfly sucks sap from a conical white flower growing from the dense butterfly bush in my front yard.

I'm not half the man I used to be…

Oh, yesterday came suddenly…

"Of the relatively few women artists found in the field of #CalendarArt, Zula Kenyon is probably the earliest, if not the most fondly remembered."

Below are pages 128 and 131 from my copy of 'Vintage Illustrations: Discovering America's Calendar Artists 1900-1960' by Charlotte Martin and Rick Martin – #steeds

#InternationalWomensDay #WomensHistoryMonth #Meermittwoch #AltText #Art #Illustration @bookstodon

Excerpts from Page 128: "Of the relatively few women artists found in the field of calendar art, Zula Kenyon (1873-1947) is probably the earliest, if not the most fondly remembered. The daughter of a minister, Kenyon was born in the small Midwest town of Deansville, Wisconsin. Although her talent as an artist was apparent from childhood, she was mainly self-taught. Women at that time were not encouraged to pursue careers, so it was probably with much persistence that Kenyon's family permitted her to travel to Chicago to attend the Art Institute of Chicago....
...Zula Kenyon worked in many mediums with ease, but her favorite was pastels. Dissatisfied with the materials available, she preferred to create her own. She ground her own pastel colors and made her own canvases and this gave her pastels the strength and brilliancy of oils. Most of Kenyon's subjects were painted before the 1920s. Many of her female portraits show trappings of the late Victorian era and a few, such as Lavinia, recall Sarah Bernhardt's stage characters. Other themes popular at the time included women in rustic settings, children, a "bluebird" series, animals, landscapes, and historical subjects...
...Zula Kenyon was one of the most popular artists of her time and was well known for her richness of color. perfection in drawing, and beauty of composition. Her work is increasingly in demand by collectors of this genre."

Page 131 features Zula Kenyon's color illustration entitled "Carmel By The Sea" which depicts waves flowing into a rocky cove. A few trees dominate the right foreground. In the background beyond the cove, the sea expands into a larger bay with mountainous hills and puffy clouds even further back.

#Photo I took of a school playground by the Fermi nuclear power plant near Monroe, #Michigan circa 2003 — #steeds

Black-and-white photo of a playground, featuring a swingset and a jungle gym made of wood. In the background, two nuclear power plant towers loom ominously.

Y’all better keep quiet in my neighborhood. Stranger danger is strictly prohibited — #steeds

#Photography (by me) #SilentSunday #AltText

Vibrant color photo. Taken up close with camera pointed slightly up. I’ve isolated a sign reading “this is a neighborhood watch community” that’s bolted to a thick wood pole. To the left of the black on white text, a silhouetted man with hat and cape looks suspicious against a caution orange background. The sky is cloudless and deep blue.
