Carla’s interpretation of view in Larmet, France
The camera’s interpretation of the scene
Megan’s interpretation of the scene
Upon entering a hotel room in Aix en Provence, many years ago, I noticed a familiar print by Dufy hanging on the wall next to the window. Accompanying the print was a note saying Raoul Dufy had painted the watercolor from this window. Yes, right there, I was looking out the window at the same scene painted in the 1920’s. Of course, I had to paint that scene. Now, my watercolor is framed and hanging in my daughter’s house. In August, I painted the another view in France, with her daughter. Here are three interpretations of the same view.
“I think a painter is happy because he is in harmony with nature as soon as he can express what he sees.” Vincent van Gogh
