Andre Brasilier, Petit Parc Le Soir & Morning Light, 2002, oil on canvas, Bonhams, London
Spring is upon us. This season conjures up varied feelings for us all. For me it’s the cornucopia of colors of flowers, memories of romping through the woods as a child, gathering armfuls of pink tulips, yellow daffodils, lavender/blue hyacinths. Petit Parc Le Soir & Morning LIght holds the Spring colors that bring me great joy.
I am drawn to the bright pinks, which speak to me of Spring The sunset announces the coming of the next dawn. The vibrant blues render to the sky what the sea has borrowed from. Everything in this piece reflects a deep respect for spirituality. There is a magnificence in its simplicity and breezy lyricism. It brings me to a place that’s introspective, contemplative, and pastoral, allowing my heart to overtake the mind. The subject matter is freed from reality.
What do you see in this piece? How does it inspire you? What feelings come up when you look at the colors and the play between light and shadow?
Like this painting, may your sunset to sunrise be filled with a serene quality, and may you awaken to a new day with renewed hope.
