Attis

Quite new blog. I don't really know how to use this place, but I am learning. Libgen, Project Gutenberg, second hand book and thriftstores, and the 100 free Jstor reads per month are all that are keeping me going right now. Working on growing into an abies alba.

There's been quite the malaise in my life today. Trying to get the motivation up to do a little sewing work and finish the novella I am reading. Maybe some tea and music will shake me out of it.

There doesn't seem to be a blog dedicated to regularly posting Dmoch paintings on this site. I might just share a bunch of his works here. I would say something like, 'he is perhaps my favorite living painter,' but I've only recently found out he died, though I've not been able to find out when exactly. (It is possible the information is easily findable on the internet in Dutch, if any of you speak it and care to look.)
