Point of View

April 18, 2019 by Kate Walter

This young painting, showing the interaction of the colors brown and blue on a white ground, looks like this viewed vertically, with the brown on the left.

 

 

Rotate the painting 90 degrees;   images seen in the painting change.

 

 

Rotate another 90 degrees.  New images appear, old ones disappear.

 

One more turn and the painting looks like this.

Hey!  A horse, looking behind a brown haired woman dressed in brown, talking to her grandmother.

 

 

The addition of a red tone  changes relationships in the painting, and more images appear.

 

 

With the addition of a second blue pigment,  visual possibilities change again, with new dimension and imagery available to the viewer.

 

Turn the picture over, top to bottom.

What you see depends on your point of view.

As I split them open, I enjoyed seeing the beautiful swirling grains in the wood, exposed to the sunlight…READ MORE >

Beechnuts

Each morning on the way to the barn we walk under the hanging limbs of the great beech tree that stands by the corner of our house. Names and dates carved long ago on the smooth, gray trunk are dark and distorted, barely legible. The tremendous number of beechnuts that grow on a tree this…READ MORE >
