The Romance of Ruins in Visionary Painting
English↓ Nederlands ↓ ↓ Français ↓ ↓ ↓ The Romance of Ruins in Visionary Painting Hi everybody, I have always had a soft spot for ruins. There is something magical about an ancient wall still standing while the world around it has changed again and again. When I place my hand on old stone, I cannot help wondering about all it has witnessed—the people who built it, those who lived there or passed through its doors, and the countless moments that have disappeared into time. Perhaps that is why, when I closed my eyes during a watercolor exercise and waited for an image to appear, I saw a ruin beside the sea.
