Quite Kazan. Reminds me of a passage in Frankenstein where the Creature discusses Paradise Lost. I can relate to this a great deal.

Mary Shelley wrote:
I often referred the several situations, as their similarity struck me, to my own. Like Adam, I was apparently united by no link to any other being in existence; but his state was far different from mine in every other respect. He had come forth from the hands of God a perfect creature, happy and prosperous, guarded by the especial care of his Creator; he was allowed to converse with and acquire knowledge from beings of a superior nature, but I was wretched, helpless, and alone. Many times I considered Satan as the fitter emblem of my condition, for often, like him, when I viewed the bliss of my protectors, the bitter gall of envy rose within me.


Froya, I see a despair in the illustrations, especially the last two. It should be a beautiful landscape but the tone/context makes that beauty inaccessible or just out of reach.

I think what can make beautiful landscape paintings also a little painfull to take in, is for example the use of light and shadows, composition and manipulating the shapes of things. They can make the trees longer and more narrow or wider and bigger in propotion to other things. They can exagurate reallity. For me, grandiose landscape scenes in real life, have the same effect though. Maybe this is not so commen, I don't know...

^^^ :heart: Cappellen, his trees are so creepy. He uses light in interesting ways too, though I suspect the light in Norway is very interesting and different to what we have here.

One of my old photos today I think, the trees today are almost leafless so it won't be long until it looks like this again.

^So you know August Cappelen... That is a beautiful and atmospheric photo! The water that is absolutely still, and the fog, is some of what creats the atmospher I think. Oak trees are one of my favorite trees to draw and paint. I love Alwyn Crawshaws landscape paintings too:
