It even projects the silence of a still, snowy day. Have you thought about doing this painting on a larger canvas?Aloha Sistahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170023577978560966.post-28753025999800988312011-12-06T20:28:19.967-08:002011-12-06T20:28:19.967-08:00I have reflected on this painting for a long time,...I have reflected on this painting for a long time, opening and re-opening the file to view it again and again. I find it hard to verbalize its effect on me, but I will try to express what I sense here.<br /> <br />It is a mysterious work. I am amazed that you were able to create shape, image, and even reflection without using any notable major light source and without more than bare suggestions of color. <br /> <br />I can look at its greyness, and my mind wants to create colors and shades that aren't really there; like looking at ghosts who at once appear solidly real, then disintegrate into vapor. That is exactly what it's like driving in heavy snow; you can never be very secure that you are seeing what you think is out there. <br /> <br />I can identify with its bleakness, having lived under the grey skies of Central Germany so long and having endured rare seasons of bleakness within. I am drawn in to its delicacy and repulsed by its unfriendly cold, both at the same time. <br /> <br />I'm not jumping for the thrill of it; but it affects me deeply, that is certain. You are a genius, even at this scale. Thanks for sharing your gifts. LNBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
