Today's musical share is also a post, as this version of "Take Me to Church" by Hozier is accompanied by a very special ballet piece by Sergei Polunin, directed by David LaChapelle. I love dance, and ballet I find can be so expressive and just beautiful - especially when performed by a man - and this dance is just breathtaking. It actually made me cry when I first saw it! So, in my humble opinion I suggest you pop to YouTube and watch this before reading on... One day, I will paint this man in one of his beautiful expressive leaps!
The Caring Hand
This is a sculpture from Switzerland I stumbled upon via Pinterest... I just love the simultaneous intensity and gentleness it evokes, mammoth stone fingers reaching through the earth to cradle a tree. It reminded me of an old stone creature or giant from eras past! Any sort of sculpture that incorporates the Earth or nature I am a big fan of, and this is definitely one of my favourites I have come across.

Stunning Moleskine Artwork
From one of the many art accounts I follow on instagram, Beautiful Bizarre is definately one I wuld highly recomend. They always share stunning new artwork and talented artists and exhbitions. One that really caught my eye is from the Moleskine Project IV at the Hashimoto Contemporary.
A celebration of the sketchbook, over 70 artists feautre in this exhbition (oh, how I wish I could go!) and all of the art featured looks bloody stunning! I use a moleskine for my own art journal, and I have to say, I am in love with it! There's something very old-worldy about a leather bound journal and the paper really holds up to all the battering of collage and watercolours I give it on a frequent basis!
After much deliberation, I had to pick the below artist as my favourite one of the lot - by NC Winters, this artwork is just simply so beautiful. It reminds me a lot of Brian Froud (whom I have a deep arty love for) and the mix of stunning realism and magical fantasy is very much up my street!

The cutest bird bath you'll ever see!
The last but not least share for Magical Monday, is this adorable video of a man cupping water in his hands so his beyond cute pet bird can have a little bath! I am in LOVE! The bird looks so darn happy and it really makes me envy Snow White and this chap at being able to make friends so well with birds!
Watch the video here!
Aaaand I do not have a round up of last week's artwork - sorry! Simply because I am far too tired to upload and edit them and quite would like to have dinner before I fall asleep face down at my computer (we are ordering in as a first day at work treat!). I'll post the latest as soon as I have a spare minute to do so!
Hope you have had a Magical Monday!
