humanity meets nature in autumn...

I know that I should be synchronised with my emerging spring world down under, but I simply can't pass by these stunning autumn paintings by Florida's Debbie Criswell...
Her work skilfully captures the visual energy of happiness in the 'humanity-meets-nature' landscapes... https://t.co/P0RfG8gZBp

the Van Gogh legend...

Van Gogh certainly had a troubled life...That he sold only 1 painting = part of his legend...Some sources challenge the legend - 2 paintings+some drawings say some... https://t.co/mI48nXXJIK
But the fact remains, he sold very little...
His sunflowered grave, for me, is Van Gogh. https://t.co/nuoFPKKhb1

Merewether Baths...

A most unusual subject and scene for a painting...
Intriguing...
Merewether Baths opened in 1935... https://t.co/9YJMy5hyf5

silvered moonlight on water...

There is something so magically mystical about silvered moonlight on water worlds... https://t.co/PHHuihCqP9

deep dialogue...

Inverell artist Cameilia Edwards, inspired by a photograph taken by Edwina Robertson near Carnavon, WA painted 'Kindred Hearts'. It took home last year's Inverell Shire Council Acquisition Prize.https://t.co/6XRk4VAn54

a sleeping furball and a painting...

My little furball loves to spend some sleeping time near this precious painting...

A Perfect Moment...

Rebecca Vincent's engaging art -'A Perfect Moment'. The original was a monotype - a unique printed painting. I use rollers and dabbers to spread out the ink then make marks with a cloth and other tools. I incorporate textured materials by impressing inked up wallpaper and fabric. https://t.co/rtZFmnJZAq

children's illustrator...

Stunning watercolours by children's author+illustrator Pamela Allen. Adelaide's Patch Theatre Company created 3 theatrical performances from a selection of her books. 1st illustrator to win Children's Book Council of Australia Picture Book of the Year Award in 2 consecutive years https://t.co/JQoc7NDZCF

congestion crisis?...

Apparently, painter and date are correct. But the painting is not a pandemic reference. It represents problems related to urban traffic and suggests mechanisms to reduce the traffic congestion crisis. But still, it could easily have a double meaning now. https://t.co/wxiNsxBFzj https://t.co/i2vWblRqSJ

— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) October 23, 2020

Even the word 'congestion' can be applied to traffic and breathing issues... 

Wind from the Sea

Love this image for its emotional and thoughtful energy...partially open window, partially drawn blind, a partial glimpse of the sea...but there is enough sea breeze to send the curtains spinning into a dance...And the colour tone is like parchment...a past moment preserved... https://t.co/7Oah2uApMQ

Perhaps Andrew Wyeth's most famous painting is 'Christina's World'... 

 

Cass...

SBS' programme tonight, 'The World's Most Scenic Railway Journeys', introduced me to the paintings of New Zealander, Rita Angus (1908-70). Her painting below is of Cass railway station (1936) in inland Canterbury. pic.twitter.com/FlCJcg0qJM

The Winding Road Home...

There is something quietly, 'musically' gentle and inspiring about this beautiful painting...I checked George Callaghan's biography and was surprised to find he was born in Belfast Ireland but has finally called Tasmania home...(He is also a harpmaker)....https://t.co/DV5sRVfpoM https://t.co/vgkekX7kW8

outback living history...

This puts a whole new dimension to the concept of 'living history'...Julia Creek's bakery and cafe in northwest Queensland is a winner, and so is the artist Maree Power, who lives 100km from Julia Creek... https://t.co/tp5Zf7EKGb pic.twitter.com/DLL5Es2XmR

Julia Creek is situated on the Overlander’s Way, the main travelling route from Townsville to Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.

Bumpa...

Archibald Prize entry by Sarah Molony-Singleton. It's a portrait of Burrumbuttock Hay Runners' founder Brendan Farrell. The Burrumbuttock Hay Runners bring hay + hope to drought-affected farmers in NSW and Queensland. Brendan Farrell was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia. pic.twitter.com/e6nYPN4CQ6

— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) August 12, 2020

Brendan is nicknamed 'Bumpa' - which becomes the title of the painting.

Light Sower...

Interesting that a female figure has been selected as the sower...in the pose of leaning, suggesting 'going forward'...And the light seems to be in the form of a pool...
Exquisite image... https://t.co/jC4hqhhPcS

— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) July 25, 2020

NOTE: The artist's name should be 'Chmilar'...
And the title of the painting should be 'Light Sower'...- an oil painting on aluminium...
