Moos - OD (x-post from landscape)

Nr. 104
Während der Trockenphasen, beim Malen einer Kirche, habe ich
gleichzeitig dieses Motiv angefertigt. Die Landschaft ist vor
Millionen Jahren zu einer Ebene abgeschliffen worden. Wie viele
Arbeiter damit beschäftigt waren weiß ich nicht, aber es müssen
sehr, sehr viele gewesen sein mit Pressluft-Hammer und Meisel.
Diesen fleissigen Menschen möchte ich damit ein Denkmal setzen.
Die Idylle ist trügerisch, denn unmittelbar hinter dem Hof führt
eine vielbefahrene Straße vorbei - hier die Schokoladenseite


Translation Mr. Doug Elliot:
During dry periods, while painting a church, I at the same time
made this image. The landscape is before Million years has been
ground down to a plane. How many Workers were busy so I do
not know, but it must been very, very many with his pneumatic
hammer and chisel. These hardworking people I would like to
erect a monument. The idyll is deceptive, because immediately
after the court takes a busy road past - the best side here.

Format/Format: 35 x 50 cm
Papier/Paper: Canson fine face 250 gr
Farben/Colors: gemischte Marken/mixed brands

Very fine Ernst, beautifully clean washes and masterfully reduced foreground.

Guten Tag Ernst,

Another beautiful painting using your own inimitable style and colour palette.

I can only dream being able to paint such nice clean watercolour washes.

I agree, Rui!

Ernst, it amazes me that you placed all your detail in the very centre of your paper... yet... despite all guidelines to the contrary, this works so beautifully...

Oh... and I was expecting to see cows...

Es habitual ver en tus trabajos un extraordinario uso de los distintos verdes. Aquí vemos eso aún superado.
Gracias por mostrarnos tu arte.-
Carlos

It's great and I don't see it as in the center of the paper. It is very thoughtfully placed.
