Sean Yoro (Hula) used chalk and water to paint these murals somewhere in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. A message on wildfire, deforestation and climate change.

Last weekend the city Den Bosch in the Netherlands held 'The world of Jeroen Bosch', a festival turning the city centre into a medieval village: music, clothing, art, food, craftmenship, ...
Someone I cherish brought me a badge, an amulet for protecting pilgrims visiting the Maria statue in the St Jan church.
The silver tin replica contains consecrated soil from around the St Jan and dust from around the Maria altar.
It is made by Marc van de Aa.

Perhaps you remember from early school years mentioning of Lascaux (France) and Altamira (Spain). Famous for their paint art, some of the very first human art.
As I walked the Camino del Norte in 2013, and as I also studied history with special interest in pre-history, how could I not visit this cave on the occasion. Well, I saw the closed gate of the original cave, but visited the replica.
By the way, the cave of Lascaux is also closed for public and rebuild in a replica.
"Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola y de la Pedrueca, in 1868, accidentally discovered Patheolitic paintings with the help of a hunter named Modesto Cubillas inside Altamira's caves, located in Cantabria, north to Spain. Trying to expose their discovery to the academic world for that they study the paintings, Sautuola crashed against the skepticism and discredit of all experts, who claimed that the caves were false and the paintings made for the own Sautuola, in a effort to get rich. Looking for the truth, Sautuola was the rest of his life fighting to prove that those paintings were real, trying to restore his innocence from the accusations of falsehood launched against him.

A commenter on imdb states that original discovery was done by the poor shepherd Modesto Cubillas. The movie however emphasizes Marcelino Saenz de Sautola. He's the owner of the land, also a powerful family (co-owning Banco Santander) and co-sponsor of this movie.
