Art For The Weekend
In 2011 I wrote a series of posts on four 19th to 20th century female Finnish painters. I found it still interesting*. Another Finnish painter of the olden times I like is Hugo Simberg, a symbolist painter. Here is his Garden of Death, to set a happy tone for the weekend:
Doesn't that remind you of Death in Terry Pratchett's Discworld fantasies?

Meaning that one must show self-confidence. I think I will keep the male terminology in that proverb...
