Bruce Combs 24 Sep 2010

You know, I think that the primary benefactor of this pretty painting probably is not the scenery for tourists but the quality of art in The Netherlands! Just look at the fine and successful details here! To name only intricate little basically straight lines without even mentioning the great success of the over-all composition, based on the gently diagonal direction of the canal and its width, the patiently detailed many small things in the foreground on the near-side of the canal contrasting with the larger items and spaciousness on the far-side, and how, most skillfully the marsh near us seems presented as straightly horizontal but notice against the water this side of it, it actually takes our view right up to the tree and then the infinity of the disappearing canal. I believe that the space and dimensions up and back to our right are especially emphasized by the alternation of the three horizontal blue sections of water and sky divided by the greenery, and finally the successful cutting off the view around the front of the nearest windmill with some unrecognizable buildings. So there isn’t really large enough scope in a comment even to mention the variety of flowers, including the water lilies, the “cat tails,” several other marshy green plants, or the glorious colors or their arrangement (as might have been done in a professionally constructed bouquet), the indescribable grace and beauty of the solitary Reiger bird (similar to US herons), the beauty and natural movements depicted in the water, the variegated blue sky and clouds or how of all these and more of Holland’s numerous famous trademark images are brought together and skillfully managed into a single painting. So I just want to enough space and time here to point out a couple of the large amount of neatly and delicately detailed, repetitious brush work that adds to much to the Most obvious, perhaps are the many and distinguished stems of a large variety of plants here on the marsh side of the canal (be sure to study the close-up Detail photo). Next one might notice the lines of the lattice work on the sails of the windmills. Finally, notice the many feathers, no two alike, I suspect, on the regal Reiger! Peace, etc., Bruce

Artist Reply: This canvas is much larger than I mostly use. It's funny that you mention three sections on the painting, because for me it felt indeed like I was painting three pictures instead of one. I was thinking several times that I would never finish it and I wasn't content with it at all. Then suddenly the heron flew in together with the flowers and he brought new life to this work (maybe I should have painted a stork:). There are many failures in it, but I like it because I know how much energy I have put in here and how much I learned from it. My dear friend, I'm really glad that you like it too and spoke your wonderful words about it from which I learned so much too. I truly thank you for always inspiring your friends in art in your own unique way!
