scenic artist... an on-looker says, "better than nature!"
Link with 888: Mocking
[This is based on a dream I had where a fellow was painting a giant mural. There was a pond in the foreground and rolling hills and trees were off in the distance. The sky was full of beautiful clouds.]
completely off subject; yesterday I was backing up my blog to CD andand I accidentally republished a couple of my old posts. I see you commented on one of them.
Whenever a dream is mentioned, I'm hooked!: ... Why not!? Art is 'better than nature!:) William Blake who detested copying nature said in a sentence that I only read in a booklet in Slovenain translation that nature is essentially pure vision. For those who can see, I suppose. I guess most of us need a degree of artistic manipulation, before we are able to realise this. Just a though!?:)
Pat: I know what you mean...there is some amazing work out there.
Pamela: Yes, I did notice when I looked at the second one. I use a news reader, so it notifies me when blogs have new stuff.
Borut: Some deep thoughts...what is the nature of Nature, eh? And now days with cameras that can reproduce a scene perfectly, it almost seems a waste of effort to spend weeks or months painting the same thing. Maybe the Japanese with their sumi-e painting and haiku poetry are on to something. :-)
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

I will look at a painting and say "Oh it looks real"
and then I will look at the horizon and sunset and say
'Oh, it looks like a painting!"
so, you captured my thoughts exactly
nice
