Ad Hoc #14. Aunt Valeria

Addendum to the story of 'Anna from the North' (12-2021).

Anna loves smells. One that lingered in her mind was the smell of oil paint in Aunt Valeria’s studio - that magical place where art seemed to bloom amid a sea of flowers and light.

P.S.  Art: Jeanna Bauck, 'Bertha Wegmann Painting a Portrait' (late 1870s). On display at the National Museum in Helsinki: here. Information on Wikipedia about this painting: here.

Ad Hoc #13. What Problem Solved?

 

Ad Hoc #12. When Lightning Strikes

At the end of a rainbow one can find a pot of gold. (Dutch saying. I didn't check if this is a common saying in other countries too). 

What does one find at the end of a lightning strike? When the lightning discharges into sand we get "glass". It's official name is: fulgurite.
