Blue Landscape

“Look at the flowers. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are.”  - Osho

Lois Gold graciously invites us into her dreamworld via the stunning painting “Blue Landscape.” This highly textured impressionistic painting of a beautiful field in eastern Long Island reminded me of an observation attributed to Virginia Woolf: “the blue seems eternal.” Myriad shades of blue and purple contribute to the elegance of this piece. The artist tastefully uses heavy texture and glass-beaded gel to accentuate the brilliance of the flowers and light up the piece. The sky blends in with the foreground and makes you feel like you are standing inside the picture, surrounded by its beauty and serenity. I find this piece very therapeutic. Just looking at it gives me a surge of serenity. Nature is beautiful, with its flowers, trees, clouds, and sunsets.  All we need is to open our eyes and see!
