Gavin Noble, a triathlete who represented Ireland in the 2012 Olympics, had his bike stolen at lunchtime today. His bike has sentimental value because of the olympics. Her name is Sally. See last few tweets here.

What separates Aivazovsky’s seascape paintings from others is his ability to replicate both the intensity and motion as well as the translucency and texture. His energetic waves and calm ripples are equally effective. Aivazovsky also plays with colors, simulating the effects of sunlight filtering through the waters to present an ethereal quality that imitates a sort of magical realism.
