Also known as “the father of Texas painting”, Robert Julian Onderdonk (1882-1922) painted many bluebonnet landscapes in his career. The oil painting above is one of his most famous pieces.

“Path through a Field of Bluebonnets” is a very charming painting. The simplicity of the brushwork helps establish a dreamy (albeit otherworldly) atmosphere, which the viewer is invited to step into at their leisure. The bluebonnets feels so close that you could almost smell and touch them!

“Path through a Field of Bluebonnets” has a very photography-like quality.

Happy Monday!

Today, we are starting a new series. The PoArtMo Mini-Reviews are short, quick-read reviews written by members of the PoArtMo Collective. Our goal is to introduce you to art (books, documentaries, movies, etc.) that you might not already know about that both adults and youths alike can enjoy.

Today’s mini-review was written by Azelle Elric.

Toki wo Kakeru Shōjo – The girl Who Leapt through Time

Genre: Japanese-animated science-fiction romance film.

Director: Mamoru Hosoda.

Year: 2006.

Summary: Summer is almost here and high school will soon be over. 17-year-old Makoto Konno lives a happy, carefree life with her friends Kôsuke and Chiaki.

One day, when coming back from school, she’s violently ejected into a railroad crossing because of the defective brakes of her bicycle. However, she escapes an untimely death by leaping back through time several minutes before her fall. As her aunt explains to her later, the lucky tomboyish heroin is able to leap through time. But how will she use this power?

Inspiration: 5 stars.
Positivity: 4 stars.
Family-friendliness: 4 stars.

Why I like it: I love the well developed characters, their interactions and how they evolve in the story.

Who can read / watch: Everyone aged 9 and above.

Favorite moment: Makoto’s first attempts at using her newly found ability are hilarious!

PoArtMo verdict: A beautiful story about the passing of time and the consequences of frivolous choices.
