Swiss photographer Samuel Zeller captures botanical photographs in the gardens of Geneva, Switzerland. Inspired by botanical illustrations from the 18th century, the images taken through the glass of the greenhouses seem to look like watercolor paintings. In a statement about the series, Zeller says: “My series reflects the heritage of an architectural period and the botanical […]

I am ‘squirming in my seat excited’ to share some news that is two-fold, a teensy bit bitter and a lot bit sweet. First, while we were in the mode of big changes over here… we sold our cabin in Michigan! Ok, as I type this I am getting a little sentimental and feeling that […]
Dyrham Park and its fine 17th century mansion is a short car journey from my home - I posted the grounds and house previously here. Inside the mansion is a famous trompe l'oeil painting by Samuel Van Hoogstraten. The painting is displayed in a doorway across a hallway in order to create an illusion and literally 'fool the eye' of the observer. The artist draws us through an archway and into a Dutch interior. via The image depicts the possible loss of innocence as indicated by the birdcage dominating the top of the painting. A birdcage with the door open is a symbol of virginity lost. However, in this painting the door is open but the green parrot has not flown. It waits in the entrance - will it fly or will it stay within the cage? It is not easy to see in this photo but through the doorway beyond the staircase there is a pale faced young man looking through the window at a scene which shows an anxious looking girl. She faces towards her father who is wearing typical Dutch clothing of the period. There is another figure, perhaps her mother, sitting at the table. A small scrap of paper lies on the staircase - is it a love note accidentally dropped? Fidelity holds a key that signifies her absolute trustworthiness, a key hangs on the pillar to the righthand side of the painting. There is tension within the painting revealed by the arched back of the cat, and the young King Charles spaniel looks wary and apprehensive. The broom leaning beside the wall though considered primarily a female icon due to its domestic use, is also a fertility symbol of both sexes. The putti angels depicted on the archway can be symbolic of either God's protection or punishment. The outcome of the painting will never be known and will always remain a mystery.
Everyone reaching their own moment of transcendence is what brings the connectivity that happens in a room that Tamino Amir is performing in.

A week ago, I was sitting in bed working on the questions for my interview with Sigal Samuel about Osnat and her Dove. Samuel’s new illustrated children’s book is about the first female rabbi in history, Osnat Barzani, also known as Asnat or Asenath Barzani. I had never heard of Barzani before, having always been told […]

1898 seven room Victorian, Denton, Texas In February, 1998, the City of Denton announced an auction for the house that is now the Bayless-Selby House Museum. Mildred Hawk of Denton, a member of the Denton County Historical Commission, was the successful bidder. In April, Mrs. Hawk gave the house to the Historical Commission for restoration as a museum. In June, the house was moved to its present location on site in the newly-created Historical Park of Denton County, just a glimpse away from the historic Downtown Denton. Restoration took just over three years, and the house was opened as the Bayless-Selby House Museum September 29, 2001. Who were the Bayless and Selby families? Samuel A. Bayless and his wife, Mollie, came from Monroe County, Tennessee. Samuel purchased a two-roomed farmhouse, located at what we now know as 1301 Myrtle Street, Denton in 1884. That farmhouse is the one-story part of the museum. Samuel contracted to construct the two-story part of the house in 1898. It is in a very popular style from the late 19th century known as Queen Anne. Samuel died in 1919, and Mrs. Bayless chose not to continue to live in the house. Instead, she arranged with a neighboring nursery man, Mr. R. L. Selby, Sr. to exchange houses with her, and she and her family moved out of the house to enable the Selby family to move in on Thanksgiving Day. The Selby Family has continued their nursery business, and to this day, the Selby greenhouses are still located near the Myrtle Street address. The house remained in the Selby family until 1970.
