Thursday, 28 June 2007. Brantwood – Poppies. A window at Brantwood (above). A spore print from a Brantwood fern (above). Demeter - the Earth mother - Prosperina's mother (above). Proserpina of course has a whole chapter on the Poppy, and unlocking its depth of meaning is complex. He wonders, for instance, “whether poppy leaves themselves….are not too thin, im-properly thin? Brantwood – Roses and Foxgloves. Ruskin - Study of a Wild Rose (above). Brantwood - Wild Rose (above). Sally Beamish - 'Locked out'!

Hamilton & Ashrowan: Brantwood - Honeysuckle, Serpents and feathers
http://hamiltonashrowan.blogspot.com/2007/06/brantwood-honeysuckle-serpents-and.html
Saturday, 23 June 2007. Brantwood - Honeysuckle, Serpents and feathers. Honeysuckle shoot, as serpent. Ie of the serpent. Your recent philosophy denies, and I do not take upon me to assert. The serpent is a honeysuckle with a head put on. Everywhere I looked today, the beautiful honeysuckle begins now to look like a strangling serpent. Did Ruskin never look to the flower to forgive the stem? Or did the associations of the stem innevitably lead to the associations of flower? Looks more like Ruskin's drawi...

Hamilton & Ashrowan: Brantwood - don't read this - go look at flowers
http://hamiltonashrowan.blogspot.com/2007/06/brantwood-please-look-at-flowers.html
Sunday, 24 June 2007. Brantwood - don't read this - go look at flowers. Closes itself as perfectly as a sea-wave torn by the winds, being indeed nothing else than a wave of silken sea, which the winds trouble enough and fret along the edge of it, like a fretful Benacus at its shore, but which, tear it as they will, closes into its unruffled strength again in an instant.”. Well written and beautiful cyanotypes. I can see that you are having fun there and will need to return. Keep going.

Hamilton & Ashrowan: Brantwood - overwhelming imperfection everywhere
http://hamiltonashrowan.blogspot.com/2007/06/brantwood-2nd-day.html
Thursday, 21 June 2007. Brantwood - overwhelming imperfection everywhere. Also, for us, a comment from James Dearden about Ruskin's Glenfinlas portrait - in the top left corner there is a small flower growing on rocks, which neither Ruskin nor Millais could identify. Ruskin picked it and sent it to his friend, Lady Trevelyan for identification. The flower is still with the letter, but where is the letter we wonder? The posy of flowers commonly put together with the specific aim of communicating a symboli...

Hamilton & Ashrowan: Brantwood – Roses and Foxgloves
http://hamiltonashrowan.blogspot.com/2007/06/brantwood-roses-and-foxgloves.html
Thursday, 28 June 2007. Brantwood – Roses and Foxgloves. Ruskin - Study of a Wild Rose (above). Brantwood - Wild Rose (above). Sally Beamish - 'Locked out'! Matlock is often cited as his first episode of madness. But I don’t believe in madness at all. I approached the Dog Rose with apprehension, not just for the brevity of its life, but because in many ways the Rose. The Vervain and Dianthus, of St Ursula and Carpaccio – we haven’t worked yet with those even. And what about the Whortleber...The Vervain h...

Hamilton & Ashrowan: Brantwood - Violet, Selfless Love, Obedience
http://hamiltonashrowan.blogspot.com/2007/06/brantwood-violet-selfless-love.html
Wednesday, 27 June 2007. Brantwood - Violet, Selfless Love, Obedience. Sometimes it seems strange, two mature men as we are, obsessing about flowers. Ruskin quoted Gerard (who was writing about the Violet), which about sums it up. “For flowers, through their beautie, varietie of colour, and exquisite form, do bring to a liberall and gentle manly minde the remembrance of honestie, comeliness, and all kinds of virtues.”. 8230; but Viola is ready to die for the happiness of the man who does. Vehicle insuran...

Hamilton & Ashrowan: First day at Brantwood - A land of ferns and foxgloves
http://hamiltonashrowan.blogspot.com/2007/06/brantwood-land-of-ferns-and-foxgloves.html
Wednesday, 20 June 2007. First day at Brantwood - A land of ferns and foxgloves. Had a wonderful converstaion with Howard Hull about Prosperina, Love's Meinie and Deucalion - Ruskin's works on the natural world. A walk around the garden, the amazing unfolding of fern leaves. Ruskin's stone seat, with the view of the rivulet totally obscured by fern growth - not what we expected, hoping for moss and stone and tumbling water. Did Ruskin actually sit there much? Did he keep the view of it open? Brantwood - ...
