Through One's Eyes

Through One's Eyes

I have started this new thread for others to share and enjoy The World of Art. The title is a reflection on the many different views and ways of seeing art that is very subjective to the viewer.

Anyone can share a piece they have produced, are working on or would like to one day 'get around to doing'.

Many 'forumites' use art as a form of therapy or grounding/coping strategies - so please also share your experiences of these also.

It is also a place to discuss what people like, dislike are drawn to and the feelings ellicited from producing and viewing any pieces.

Feel free to add images or topics of discussion and enjoy the wonderful world that we can share through Art.

Re: Through One's Eyes

It looks great @Catcakes .... ❣️

I love the movement in the paint .... and the character in the mountains ..... and those flags positively vibrate with colour .....

I learned what a “Ruisdael sky” was a couple of weeks ago. Jacob van Ruisdael, a painter from the Dutch Golden Age painted his skies as 2/3 of his landscape ..... with beautiful blue hues ..... and then piles of cumulus clouds. You’ve got something of that going on there too .....

Its a beauty ....

Re: Through One's Eyes

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope.
I’ll have to look van Ruisdael up, I’m not familiar with his work.

Re: Through One's Eyes

It’s very classical work, as the painters from the newly formed Dutch Republic were, but there was a new freedom in painting for the merchant class rather than royalty and aristocracy, and everyday scenes were depicted as interesting subject matter.

@Catcakes @Faith-and-Hope can I 'park it up' here and be distracted by Art this evening - can't sleep - too much in my head from today - distractions needed...
