A bridge between impressionism and realism with beautiful light.<br /><br />Thanks for the fun!Angeliquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520455557239025328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-80689403252470689432013-09-02T07:18:22.568+00:002013-09-02T07:18:22.568+00:00I also looked up David Bomberg , because of your c...I also looked up David Bomberg , because of your clue about recent exhibitions , rather than his work. . I agree with Jacqui about photographs, even if you click on paintings as a heading it seems to me that you still have to type painting in again in the search box otherwise you do get a lot of photos.... and not lens based art which might qualify as paintings at a stretch for search purposes.I also feel I still haven`t entirely got to grips with how wiki shows you results and the help lines mostly refer to text searching rather than image searching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-531098418694295952013-09-01T22:37:07.744+00:002013-09-01T22:37:07.744+00:00I didn't get the Bomberg answer until I looked...I didn't get the Bomberg answer until I looked at images of work he'd done and I think I get it now.

I went down the usual slip roads and found a lot of good work by artists I knew nothing , or very little about.<br />I look forward to next week.....<br />Bernadette Madden, in Dublin, who is now going back in to her studio to do some work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-24338030025607707102013-09-01T14:07:25.551+00:002013-09-01T14:07:25.551+00:00Better late than never.

He is from Spain, so I will guess that's where the painting is? Although, the reason I guessed, is I was in San Diego a few weeks ago, bored with Comic Con, and I went to the art museum in Balboa Park, where they have another Sorolla painting - a portrait. I was intrigued with all the colors in his whites, and got a fair scolding from the guard, who didn't like me looking so close. So, for a few days after I was googling Sorolla images and this one reminded me of something from The Hobbit - almost medieval looking.<br /><br />I don't post much anymore on blogs, so I'm not sure what account this comment will be linked to, but my email is DebraKeirceArt@yahoo.com and my website is DebKArt.com and I do have a blog at DebraKeirceArt.Blogspot.com<br /><br />Have a great day!<br /><br />Debra Keircehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391213568280558242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-43276261592575011572013-08-30T21:23:33.319+00:002013-08-30T21:23:33.319+00:00Hi Katherine,
