I am not sure I'll have a serial pond, but have been trying to work up some of my tree water reflections over the past couple of days.Gesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808430595430298345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-90360683964858463702009-01-06T09:35:00.000+00:002009-01-06T09:35:00.000+00:00Thanks GayleA reader wrote to tell me the followin...Thanks Gayle<BR/><BR/>A reader wrote to tell me the following - I've highlighted the artists' names<BR/><BR/>"Are you aware of <B>David Hockney</B>'s series called "Paper Pools'? He did it at Tyler Graphics in New York State, using coloured poured pulp to create large views of a swimming pool. <BR/><BR/>Or <B>Jennifer Bartlett</B>'s series, "In The Garden," on a (swimming) pool behind a house she rented for a year? Both are interesting because they were on-going projects about a single body of water. <BR/><BR/>I also have a wonderful book called Artists, Land, Nature by Mel Gooding. One of the artists discussed, <B>Sjoerd Buisman</B> did a piece IN a pond, planting willow branches and documenting their change over several seasons. There are other exciting and inspiring works in the book too."Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-81573078319442755832009-01-06T09:21:00.000+00:002009-01-06T09:21:00.000+00:00Beautiful colours, I will be following this series...Beautiful colours, I will be following this series with interest.Gayle Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813542167140050927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-5096056656904190712009-01-05T23:57:00.000+00:002009-01-05T23:57:00.000+00:00Thank you Robin - I'm kicking myself as I've got J...Thank you Robin - I'm kicking myself as I've got Joseph Raffael's book and <A HREF="http://makingamark.blogspot.com/2007/07/flowers-in-art-contemporary-artists-1.html" REL="nofollow">I've written about him</A> before on this blog!!<BR/><BR/>I knew there were more artists I knew about who'd painted ponds!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-4694411829590603572009-01-05T23:15:00.000+00:002009-01-05T23:15:00.000+00:00Joseph Raffael has made ponds, water, and koi a la...Joseph Raffael has made ponds, water, and koi a large part of his work. My first view of one of his paintings was when he was working in oils, quite thin at the time, and very large. Then he made the transition over to watercolors.
