Description
Water remembers more than the shore.
Yellow and vermilion refract in the gray-blue surface; the trees are merely vertical streaks; the path vanishes amid the reflections. There is no light in the sky here. It returns from below.
From a distance, a darker landscape within the blue frame of the canvas.
Up close, a horizontal stroke of oil, like a stroke across wet paint, and vertical lines that hold the row of trees in place without defining it.
For the living room and study. He wants a calmer wall; the painting already has its own restlessness within it.
Original.
Abstract landscape painting. Oil in a impasto, almost vertical-horizontal grid. Impressionism reduced to a reflection of a place, not a postcard.
