The Magic Circle by Edward Burne-Jones

namastenancy and I made a pact to post beautiful art between now and the new year. This is my choice of the day; I was going to post Burne-Jones' "King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid", an old favourite, but I came across this picture (unfamiliar to me) and decided to substitute it for its mysterious, evocative qualities. Not only is this by one of my favourite artists, it combines many of my favourite things - trees, a boat, water, the colour blue; a sense of inner depths. I'd love to know what the title means, and in what context Burne-Jones painted it.

Happy day for John Barrowman...

Congratulations are in order for John Barrowman and his partner Steve Gill who did the legalization of a civil partnership today. Can this be put under the heading of 'tying the knot'?

I wish the article had a photo of John Barrowman in his kilt.

Torchwood: Combat...

I watched Torchwood 1x11: Combat on Christmas Day. Loved the story, ( but... )

The kilt... the kilt!

As an addendum to my posting earlier today about John Barrowman's civil partnership: this is how he looked.

As nice as I imagined.
