Photo of my cat, a chestnut torbie, sleeping on top of a canvas tote bag printed with gorgeous green-and-red-pink-ish fanart by Another Descent Into Madness of Wang Yibo's Bystander album cover. She is curled up like a perfect croissant. A friend (Jinath) has applied the golden ratio to her! The golden ratio spiral begins over her haunches, curls up and over her tail and spine with precise alignment, and curves over her ears, proving mathematically that she is in fact an objectively perfect cat.

Alphonse Mucha - Stained glass windows at St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague - large stained glass windows depicting St. Wenceslas as a young boy with St. Ludmila in the centre, surrounded by scenes of St. Cyril and St. Methodius. The goddess Slavia is also included near Jesus towards the top. Warmer coloured glass towards the centre draws focus there, with cooler blue tones in the glass as it moves towards the edges of the window. This effect also makes the window look like it's glowing even more than stained glass already does.

Diego Rivera, Still Life & Blossoming Almond Trees (1931). A lush lavender canopy of flowering trees in a large orchard spreads over the sides and rear of the composition while a man on a harvest tractor drives through the center. On the left, a Brown worker kneels in the dirt. On the right, a Brown worker, hunched over, and a Black worker next to him, upright with an angry expression, both chop the soil with hoes. In the center foreground a trio of children, two frowning girls and an obliviously happy boy, grab fruit from a colorful basket of apples and oranges.

Xiao Zhan's illustration of his perfect day: a watercolor painting of a sandy beach and a large blue lake with mountains in the distance, beneath a golden sunset and clouds. The water is a bit choppy, with boats here and there, and a bird flying low off the edge of the frame to the left. To the right of the frame, a boy is walking along the edge of the water; a bicycle stands nearer to the viewer, closer to the right edge of the frame. Down left, a boy in a white shirt and blue pants faces the water, pointing towards the bird flying off. A little calico cat sits by his side. A big conch shell is on his other side.
