The Impressionists with their wonderfully free style touch me particularly. I think that being an Impressionist photographer would please me very much ... just hinting at things and making the colours and shapes flow into each other to create a an atmosphere that only gives brief glances at the subject being photographed.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-31861453442573042482012-02-08T13:42:17.984+01:002012-02-08T13:42:17.984+01:00Yes, the skies and reflections in Bocion's pai...Yes, the skies and reflections in Bocion's paintings are quite inspiring to me - and Magritte's signature seems to be blue skies with fluffy white clouds as they appear in a great many of his works.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-12331756097416315032012-02-08T13:39:09.947+01:002012-02-08T13:39:09.947+01:00Hi Phyllis, yes, you're right, that photo of t...Hi Phyllis, yes, you're right, that photo of the sky with clouds and reflections in the water was taken quite early in the morning at the end of a long walk to watch the sunrise take place. My favourite times to walk are early mornings and late afternoons... well, at least in the warm season! These days, with our continuing way below zero temperatures, even walking around midday freezes your hands off!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015603838340372502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-25442012002791100752012-02-08T12:31:34.174+01:002012-02-08T12:31:34.174+01:00Hi Sandra !

We all seem to long for a day with clear blue skies, but the clouds make a sky so much more interesting for photographers and artists. There are great similarities between Bocion's painting and your photograph. Did you take your photograph in the morning? To me the sunlight in your photograph feels like morning. What a beautiful place in the world to live in!Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195268027690548046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-73068823033456258732012-02-08T03:06:43.476+01:002012-02-08T03:06:43.476+01:00Hi Sandra,

I think that the fact that you appreciate a lot of different styles will serve your art photography well- a creative, inquisitive mind :) How fun that you've worked on the same lake as Bocion! It's easier to learn from an artist when the subject matter is the same or closely parallels our own. Anyway, thanks for sharing all your insights!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18151980017769709403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865166082152058468.post-36394209161088545282012-02-08T02:52:18.067+01:002012-02-08T02:52:18.067+01:00Sandra,

I really enjoyed your photos, and the paintings you displayed. Perfect that you have a photo of the same lake he liked to paint.

The others are a bit strange--but i have to say that I do love his clouds. His paintings really stop you in your tracks.

I love Bocian's very calm lake -- the composition and colors are beautiful! Your interpretation of the lake is lovely and so peaceful. I've always enjoyed Magritte's work too. Thanks for sharing the examples and taking us on your museum visit.ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748316725457763377noreply@blogger.com
