Henri Matisse: La Desserte Rouge.

Been going on a bit of an art spree on Tumblr the past few days and I really, really love Matisse's use of bold colours. Like, there's so much joy and strength in his stark palette that I completely adore. This was probably my favourite of the things I came across, but especially his portraits of women are gorgeous. Just in general.

FIVE BRAHMS WALTZES IN THE MANNER OF ISADORA DUNCAN - TAMARA ROJO (excerpt)

This ballet was part of the first performance I ever saw with the Royal Danish Ballet, a mixed program with focus on the ballerina. Serenade was part of it, too and I think those two pieces, Serenade and these Brahms waltzes were what made the biggest impression on me that night. I still remember the colour scheme of this one and the dreamy, naturally-flowing movements on bare feet. As far as I can look up cast lists, Amy Watson was the one to dance it and to this date I haven't seen her better in anything. She was exquisite. Tamara Rojo in this video is also amazing, very atmospheric and almost hypnotic to watch. So glad this exists on video, so I can still recall it as vividly as ten years ago.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN RL
Nothing is happening. I am surviving. I am anxious, but I am surviving and that's pretty much it. Just trying to distract myself as much as possible. Concert tomorrow. I almost don't dare think of it. That excited. And that afraid.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN FANDOM/RP
My new

genprompt_bingo card came! ( x ) As you can see on all the red prompts, I have so many ideas already and this card definitely suits me much better than the first one, although that one was great, too. Will spend today and tomorrow on trying to get started on a Germaine fic that I've had in my head since coming up with the character. Epistolary (my favourite genre!), inspired by a piano version of Liszt's symphonic poem no. 4, Orpheus.

As always, we'll see what happens.
