I haven't come across the name Hugh Williams, but your lady in the moonboat has a distinctly late-Victorian look about her |
Alan, I will have to track that down. He was British, but I have it in my head that Moonboat dated from 1912, which would have been a bit late, no? There is a Hugh Williams who would have fit in with the earlier periods, but I quickly couldn't link him to that particular painting.
Quote (Galadriel @ May 01 2006, 07:54) | Incidentally I was playing Incantations last night, great music for Beltane (May Day) eve. I do agree Incantations is one of Mike's greatest works, but nothing can quite surpass Ommadawn as my personal favourite .
BTW with it being Beltane I'm in frivolous mood. Been dancing around to"Thunderstorm/Martian "section of Hergest Ridge,along with Portsmouth and Cuckoo Song, Happy Beltane folks . |
Mmm....sounds like you had a good one! I had every intention of dancing to Inc-70 last night--was looking forward to it--but wasn't up for it. I missed the major Beltane celebration Sunday night because of a piano concert and having to put together 75 May Day baskets for the senior citizens center. I was up until 3AM working on them, then woke up rather ill. Last night, I still thought I was going to dance to Inc, but I had to go to calling hours for a friend who died over the weekend, and I was too bummed out and still under the weather when I got home to dance to even Inc-Exp. I had a nice, reflective, long run tonight and danced under a crescent moon when I got home--though to Kevin Bartlett's "Outer Marker" instead of Inc. With the greening of the world, I can now dance in my backyard out of sight of the neighbors, woo-hoo! Inc: maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow, tomorrow.
