I've always adored his Salisbury Cathedral depiction bathed, as it were, in heaven's light. <br /><br />Well, I do hope you can have some fun and come to my Tea. If you do, perhaps you can say hello, tell us what you are wearing so we can say hello back! the food will be incredible, let me assure you.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712046924863763290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658469631060045142.post-57230809127566305432009-12-01T00:51:47.932-05:002009-12-01T00:51:47.932-05:00Constable's painting w/ the rainbow has everyt...Constable's painting w/ the rainbow has everything--peacefulness and drama, red spots of color in foreground.

I'm familiar with quite a bit of Turner (The Tate Britain is one of my very favorite places), but unfortunately these paintings had eluded me; they're so very atmospheric, and it's refreshing to see something of Turner's that isn't as famous as what is usually put on exhibit. "Jupiter" is exquisite.<br />Again, thanks for yet another beautiful post.<br />Have a great week,<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658469631060045142.post-18789215586280777282009-11-30T03:59:03.897-05:002009-11-30T03:59:03.897-05:00Simone, thanks so much for joining my site.

However, I remember when I first visited the Turner Hall in the London National Gallery (?) how awed I was by the glowing light in his paintings. A would be watercolour painter myself at that stage I was similarly inspired but eventually decided that the camera was the better medium for me anyway.<br /><br />Hope your week is productive and happy.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382137851728211157noreply@blogger.com
