Ellen Thesleff's self portrait of 1895, goes beyond a depiction of outward appearances and conveys the enigma of the artist who helped introduce Impressionism to Finland; she regarded herself as a poet with a brush, always trying to capture what she called 'the dream of life.'

I'm searching to be mutuals with listeners to @bestshow4life.bsky.social if posting can get a signal up. I've seen people from back on the X app I was mutuals with before but not on the Bluesky app. Maybe #BestShow4Life helps any bit?
