Like when your heart suddenly misses a beat. There is a perfect expression in French: <em>coup de c\u0153ur, <\/em>but I have yet not found an equivalent that sounds as evocative.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sans titre de nacha.canvas, sur Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nachaboyeras\/6431107511\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7145\/6431107511_1c12546704_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"497\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I love bears (I dedicated a <a title=\"I love bears\" href=\"https:\/\/www.datcha.ca\/la_datcha\/2011\/09\/09\/i-have-a-thing-for-bears\/\">whole post<\/a> to them) so my heart stopped for a second when I saw this image from <a title=\"Nazarena Canvas\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nachaboyeras\/\">Nazarena Canvas<\/a> on Flickr. The contrast between the detailed foreground and the pitch black background is beautiful. I love the little touches of colour, the pen strokes and the way the bear leans like a big, soft and clumsy thing.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Zander Olsen - Tree Line\" href=\"http:\/\/zanderolsen.com\/images\/Zander%20Olsen_Tree,%20Line_002.jpg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zanderolsen.com\/images\/Zander%20Olsen_Tree,%20Line_002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This work from <a title=\"Zander Olsen\" href=\"http:\/\/zanderolsen.com\/Tree_Line.html\">Zander Olsen<\/a> is very ingenious\u2026 and very puzzling when you look at it quickly. Is it a photo? Is it a painting? The fabric that mimics the horizon line plays tricks on your mind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I love ALL photos from the site Hungry Ghost Food, but <a title=\"Hungry Ghost\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hungryghostfoodandtravel.com\/new\/2012\/1\/5\/where-the-wild-things-are-no-9-wild-pantry.html\">this series features mushrooms<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This beautiful and enigmatic painting is from <a title=\"Carole Br\u00e9maud\" href=\"http:\/\/carolebremaud.ultra-book.com\/portfolio#herculaneum_40_50cm__acrylique_24\">Carole Br\u00e9maud<\/a>.

Apart from the amazing technique, there is strangeness and a slight feeling of discomfort. It might be the haziness added to the choice of the imagery but I have to look at it again and again, it is simply mesmerizing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I still don&#8217;t know how to title this post.
