POPS Oil painting 'invented in Asia, not Europe' A dozen out of the 50 caves were painted with oil painting technique, using perhaps walnut and poppy seed oils, conclude Ms Yoko Taniguchi from the National Research Institute for Cultural Properties in Tokyo. "This is the earliest clear example of oil paintings in the world, although drying oils were already used by ancient Romans and Egyptians, but only as medicines and cosmetics", explains Ms Taniguchi, leader of the team. The results showed a high diversity of pigments as well as binders and the scientists identified original ingredients and alteration compounds. Apart from oil-based paint layers, some of the layers were made of natural resins, proteins, gums, and, in some cases, a resinous, varnish-like layer. The paintings are probably the work of artists who travelled on the Silk Road.

POPSCustom digital wallpaper from Design Your Wall Being enamored by textures, it makes sense I look at the bigger picture here: textures large enough to cover whole swathes of a house's walls! I heard about this site from milki Unknown aka Ariel Martian, and apparently, you can submit your own art, photos, etc. to be printed out as wallpaper. Looks somewhat costly but, knowing how these things go, a sign of things to come.

POPSThe Blue Train, Paris Le Train Bleu is a far cry from Paris' crowded, noisy brasseries where clients have to squeeze in between tiny bistro tables. And its priceless ambience is well worth a splurge, at least once.

POPSThe Matisse Chapel, France In 1941, Matisse, who lived most of the year in Nice in the south of France, developed cancer and underwent surgery. During the long recovery he was particularly helped by a young part-time nurse, Monique Bourgeois, who had answered his ad seeking "a young and pretty nurse" and who took care of Matisse with great tenderness. Matisse asked her to pose for him, which she did, and several drawings and paintings exist. In 1943 Monique decided to enter the Dominican convent in Vence, a nearby hill town to Nice, and she became Sister Jacques-Marie.
