Unseen Oarsman

Each artist stroke created an illusion of depth, color, and placement by contasting colors, 
lights and darks the picture comes alive...A life that carries on into hearts and minds as long 
as that picture lives...It seems as though one know this person through the eyes of the 
artist...In pictures where one knows just knows that someone else is there...One's 
imagination can run wild with ideas of who this person is and what relationship to others in 
the painting...As in "Summertime" 1894-1895 Mary Cassatt (1845-1926) Oil on Canvas..Who 
is rowing the boat?  He must really love this lovely delicate woman  and precious child to row 
the boat for their enjoyment...He must look at her with eyes of love that says I would do 
anything for you even lay down my life if necessary..

Beautiful write. you have very rightly penned the emotions and thoughts, which comes to mind when one sees a painting. For every individual the same painting may convey different feelings, as per the mood and emotions which runs in that person. Brilliantly grasped by you here my friend. You appear to be a poet cum painter or photographer or may be both or all. Best wishes and love...xxx Ravindra...xxx Sara Ken
