About Me
This site concerns landscapes evoked or depicted in the arts: painting, literature, music, film etc. It also discusses the creation or alteration of landscapes by architects, artists and garden designers. For the first year I did several entries each week, more recently I have reduced the frequency of entries but still record observations on landscape in the arts when they occur to me.
