Van goths starry night is a field of rolling energy. Bellow the exploding starts, the village is a place of quiet order. Connecting earth and sky is the flamelike cypress, a tree traditionally associated with graveyards and mourning. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3LWIaZXOY4
This is a sketch I worked on Friday jun 14. I would love to post these daily vids but I can’t seem to get them out in a consistent time. So I have to work in them ahead of time so when I post it post at similar times.

This painting probably depicts a scene outside the grounds of the château de Marcouville, very close to Pontoise. Cézanne's interest in this landscape may be linked to the fact that his friend Camille Pissarro had already painted there five years earlier. However the comparison stops there. The patient search for gentle solutions typical of Pissarro seems far removed from this painting imbued with powerful energy.
Cézanne was interested in the clump of tall trees on the banks of the Viosne. The difficulty was in making this landscape of greenery "readable". To this end, he contrasted the rectilinear aspect of the poplars with the confused mass of the other trees. Between the slanting brushstrokes, characteristic of this period, the white background filters through almost everywhere, bringing luminosity and animation to the surface of the painting.
Clearly Cézanne was seeking to overcome the technical difficulty of representing a view where the only motif was foliage. The difference between this wooded landscape and those of the Barbizon school is significant. Cézanne, like Pissarro, represented trees that had been planted by man rather than those that grew "naturally". He therefore introduced into his paintings signs of human activity organising the landscape, rather than Nature's anarchic growth.

I think this will be the last clip today. I think I may venture into also maki g other images. Figurative ones. I’m not sure why I keep coming back to this idea. As much as I prefer to draw color abs line abstractions I keep thinking of creating videos of figurative ones. I just posted one not so long ago. It’s an image of a plant. I think maybe I will work on these more abstract images, the figurative a one and from time to time long for drawings on the computer. This body of work I think mainly focuses of the process. The process is just as important as the end. Some of the drawings will have a clear end. Some won’t.
