‘The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the Eyes of others only a Green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and deformity, and by these I shall not regulate my proportions; and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the Eyes of the Man of Imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.’ (William Blake)
I am a bit of a fan of William Blake, an English artist and philosopher amongst other things. A very spiritual guy, he spent much of his life trying to reconcile what he observed and experienced around him, and how the puritanical church of the day interperated it all!
Anyway, in this painting, it is the simplicity and beauty of the relatively small bunch of wildflowers which dominates the scene, despite the grandeur of the rest of the elements.
Loving this one! … Nailed it!. Light and colour indeed.
Dear Jean,
Where did you do this beautiful painting and how big is it?
It seems different to your previous work.
The format and light are unusual as well.
I like its romanticism.
Cheers,
Jon.
Hi Jon,
Thanks for your kind words.
I painted it originally in Australia last year, but completed it in the studio a few weeks ago. It’s not big, 45 x 30 cm’s.
I don’t think it is all that different, but I’m glad you like it.
Maybe you can come to opening drinks for my Amsterdam exhibition in June.
I’ll keep details posted on the blog closer to the time.
Cheers,
JD
