History of Art

Gossip (1885) by English painter John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). The second half of the 1880s witnessed Waterhouse's most intense interest in landscape and outdoor genre subjects, and his fascination with effects of natural light. The observation of the wall, the foliage and the moss-covered yard is meticulous and highly accomplished, whilst the gestures of the figures are convincing and sensitively studied.

Olé Bokeh

So once again I was standing in front of one of my favorite motifs. My good old lonetrees. Just as the little protagonist in “The Sixth Sense” saw ghosts everywhere, I see these woody creatures everywhere. Well, you have to have some kind of talent.

Recently I've been thinking in color and so the squeaky yellow rape field was a welcome stage and the cloudy blue sky a welcome curtain. So I dived into the viewfinder and . . .

“Wait! Before you go back to exclusively reeling off your classic lonetree compositions, why don't you play with a bit with Bokeh! Ok. I'll give it a try and . . .“

And what can I say. This and other results bring a smile to my face. Maybe you'll like it too.

Color. Portrait format. A lonetree stands on a yellow stage of a rape field, framed by bright yellow rape blossoms that appear as blurred dots through the open aperture. The blue cloudy sky gives all this a harmonious finish at the top.
