just like the last one it has great light and awesome depth. similar visions to what i see in my dreams, although my dreams have been very dull lately. maybe it's been a long time since ive seen or felt beauty, too preoccupied with staying warm i guess.
I'm seeing the luminist influence here. Darkest shadows next to the lightest highlights. Frederic Edwin Church perhaps? The additions really complement the existing composition in this one. ~m
Yeah, Turner, Cole and Church for sure, but I think of Caspar David Friedrich too, especially because he took that romantic landscape and started incorporating a narrative.

Dynamite. I love the softness and Mr.Woods. Is this someone's painting though? I hope it's more than 25 years old =P
an american romantic, perhaps? or, like, british or french 1780 to 1860 or so?
turner?
anyway, love it. saint tiger receives the vision of the stone angel.
yep. love it. it's a bit thorneycroft-- look up here canadiana stuff-- group of seven works, the martydom of captain canuck, etc.

ah, collis! p'tit collis!
it's church!
maybe. good call, though.
i agree that his additions compliment (and comment) on it.
again-- you MUST look up thorneycroft.
she's done some awesome work in this regard.
c-dog-- i see some perry miller influence here, too. yep.
i like the softness too.
the emotion here is very strong.
i like and am interested in the seated figure holding the dog.
is that one of your photos?
beautiful stuff.
