Staring Out to Sea…

But not very far.

I could not take my eyes off the distance that the pink reflections travelled away from the mooring buoy.
It’s a sort of reflection upon a reflection. Click the picture to make it move. (Requires Quicktime)

William Russell Flint

This is post #11 in this mini series of snow scenes.
In terms of technique, it’s the most demanding of all so far in this series. Although it’s only 10 by 13 inches ( or 25 by 33 cm ) it was made difficult by 2 factors. First, when the air temperature is close to [...]

Clark Hulings

Another contemporary painter tackles the theme of snow in this contrasty painting, called “Ten Below”. There’s something so American about the title that you might leap to the conclusion that the artist was from the USA. And you’d be absolutely right. His early years were spent in Spain, however.

Ten Below
He worked as [...]

Snow Scenes #9 – Christmas Edition

What these people have in common is that, apart from being superb concept artists, they are also all featured in the blogroll (see left), and [...]

The symbolism in the image depends on the audience having knowledge of the contextual [...]

Ivan F. Choultsé

This is number seven in the seasonal series of snow scene themed posts. (Don’t try to say that with a mouthful of crackers.)

Peder Mork Mønsted

The fourth snow themed painting in this series is by a favourite of mine, the Danish artist Peder Mork Mønsted, who lived a long and fruitful life as a painter from 1859 to 1941.
This canvas dates from 1918, and goes to show that a snow scene does not necessarily have to be rendered in blues. [...]

The work of Rowland Hilder (1905 – 1993) is held up for your admiration in this snow scene, #3 in the advent series.

The painting is from an advertisement for beer, and it’s titled ” Whitbread Stout at the Cross Keys Inn”
