My take on "The Bather".
Here, the figure, the environment and the activity all merge into one visual expression.
As is fairly typical for me, I am more interested in conveying the full sensory experience from my memory (or imagination) than from observation at the time of painting.
This allows me to be more fully present in the landscape, and therefore keenly aware of it, and equally aware and present as I paint. This kind of focus works well for me.
Interesting note:
Cezanne painted this from a photograph of a model in a studio.
I love the light coming out of this one.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that about Cezanne's bather.
