Soory - I can't comment. I have no speech.
If I try to set aside flowers and foliages, which are the impressionist sides of the painting,this work reveals for me a striking demonstration of pure solid geometry. Particularly the hexagon in the midpoint and, around, a ballet of rectangles,triangles,parallelepipeds... Abstraction through the realism. And at last, this essential brightest yellow-green hint, in the upper part of the painting and being the apex of a virtual triangle in the shade, above the hexagon, "holds" the whole architecture like a part of an invisible capital, conveying an undetactable sanctified feeling to this quiet joyful landscape.
GORGEOUS!
This is delicious! Those clouds look like some we sent over from New England a few days ago. And now it looks as if the Poppies are coming to life!
good to see you got back and you are back in the paint... and what a wonderful result Julian!
beautiful landscape!
Alain puts it perfectly; everything in it's place. Reassuring. Whatever else goes on in the world - Nature - and her special painters - never lets us down.
Hi Julian What an exquisite spring painting this is. Alain said it all. I especialy like his comment on your technique, "abstraction through realism." Congratulations on this image and your forthcoming book. It is a birthday gift to me from me. Barbara
Hi Barbara M, Nice to see you are with us again. Best
Good light in the painting.Your brush is getting hotter each time I see the art. I know you won't starve, your art is your currency. I like the fact that you are not trying to make any profound statements with the work. Cool, it makes me get to my easel in a hurry. Sincerely, Bob Ragland
