Light on Water III, ©John O’Grady, 2014
Oil on Panel, 10″x 8″
SOLD
One of the things that make Ireland so beautiful is how the successive weather fronts move in fast. The clouds skittering across the sky allow a play of light on water and land. It’s nature’s free spectacle.
I wanted to achieve that feeling of movement above and below the horizon line by placing lights next to darks while retaining the feeling of distance that make us reflect when looking out to sea.
I’d love to hear what you think.
Oh, John ! toujours aussi superbe !
Quel oeil, quelle âme…
Et votre façon de décrire votre peinture….
Amazed again !
Merci bien Dominique, j’apprécie beaucoup votre commentaire.
A perfect scene, I love way the clouds create both shadow and light patches 🙂
Thanks very much Rory, much appreciated
Love that…I believe you captured it well…love the contrast of the light of the sky and sea and the dark of the land…well done, John…!!!
Hello Terry, thank you for your comment, I think the contrasts worked out well 🙂
I agree with DomiLou..c’est magnifique!
Hello Sandy et Merci!!
John, so well captured, a beauty…
Hello Elles, thank you very much for your comment
‘Nature’s free spectacle’ – I love that phrase and so true. Your reflected light on water are always special John. In this one I think the sense of distance works very well with the merging sky and sea. I am not sure why but the little suggestion of the Irish patchwork fields made me smile.
Hello Chris, I certainly do seem to have an interest in that reflective light of water. The free spectacle of nature, can be endlessly fascinating even when recalled from way back when. Thank you for your comment
