Seeing, Understanding, Communicating, Feeling
More Warm Hills – Gallery Page - Digital Painting 2005
Often I write about trying to convey a feeling in a painting. Often I write about how seeing is completely wrapped up in understanding – how communicating what one sees is about communicating what one is experiencing.
At least for me – that is my interest and focus. When I observe, I am happy and accepting of my being in the picture – I am not a theoretical scientific observer – and frankly don’t think such a thing exists in people – for that matter even in science – but that is another story.
This piece conjures up this discussion because it was all about communicating the feeling these warm hills evoke. They make you want to reach out and hug them – even though you know they aren’t really like that. Perception and understanding confuse each other here – but then that is part of the magic. You see this world which you know to be rough and scraggly – but from your perspective you can’t help but want to wrap your arms around it – if it were possible.
More Warm hills is about that feeling.
