Here, Remedios Varo wanted to capture the moment of inspiration/divine revelation or “illumination” literarily presenting itself to a man, changing his understanding of how time works. In this painting, the Clock-Maker is hard at work in his studio surrounded by grandfather-clocks all showing the same time when Revelation (a whirling disk) literally floats through his window, catching him unawares. I miss writing art-related posts and have decided to talk again about surrealist paintings of Spanish/Mexican artist Remedios Varo (1908 – 1963) (see my 2019 post where I already talked about her paintings Hacia la Torre, El Juglar and Papilla Estelar). ![]() ![]() ![]() The Winds of War first came onto my radar when my stepfather, Paul Zuydhoek, mentioned that it was the best book he had ever read.

A frantic mother should be pretty dang strong! I'm sure I could have found a way to escape to get to my son. Why couldn't Trudy get away from a blind Glen.

Why did 2 of the dogs choose to stay with Henry? They had known Edgar for over a year - and Henry for a few days or a week.
