On Vacation

I leave you with a pleasant image that will sit on my blog for a week while I head north to Canada for some much needed family vacation.

 Redon-Fleur-Dream.jpg

This image was inspired by Odilon Redon, one of my favorite painters. He lives on that strange transition zone from classical to modern, not quite impressionist, certainly not academy, but something in between.  I grew up with a reproduction of this Redon image on the walls of my childhood home. Little did I know then how to parse it, but now I find this painter's work completely compelling.  Use Google images to see a host of his work.  See you in a week.

just to say, I've seen you mention this artist a couple times and enjoyed reading about him and seeing some of the art work today...thanks for the introduction! I like how he combines the imagined with the "real" world...I think both you and Helene are often doing the same...and that's something that "draws" me to both of your work : )

Yes! Such an adventure to explore these imaginary spaces and to figure that all out (if we ever can!)

And there are so many artists who inspire me this way. I'll have to bring more into my blog soon.
