Lovely. I saw trees looking just like this last weekend: mostly redbud, but also some white. This is a lovely representation of the way they looked in the countryside.

Thank you for the introduction to a painter I didn’t know. Lovely, although Leonardo da Vinci he is not.

Thank you for introducing me to Metcalf. This painting reminds me of springtime in TN, where I lived for a few years.

As always, interesting painting. You know – I keep trying to convince my partner that the main subject shouldn’t always be dead-center in a painting. (Rule of thirds) Yet, he has such a technical mind that he has difficulty wrapping his head around the thought that art should be something that is sometimes messy. So often when I don’t center my subject exactly he mentions it to me. I do stick by my original explanation on it, but I doubt I will ever convince him. The video about this painting and how your eye is drawn around the painting is a perfect example of this process. While art purists may consider it basic, it is present in so many pieces that are above and beyond the picture. We don’t even realize it much of the time unless we think about it.
Anyway – thank you for another intriguing painting and post. I love it. It is nice to wake up to such positive information.
Have a great day. 😀
