Long Time No See, Pedestrian !

I like the paintings you`ve chosen, especially the last one. I really like the dynamic, angry way the head is painted and the creepy effect of the glazed eyes.

I`ve worked out from other posts that you are particularly interested in portraits, but I hope you`ll tolerate my offering anyway:-

Paul Nash had a tamer style, but a special, subtle way with landscapes :-



^ This one is unusually bright and sunny for him, but it shows two PN characteristics; a landscape that is undramatic, a little offbeat, and empty of people. More typical are the ones below; scenes in the eerie light that you might come across on a long wintery walk in England`s "Home Counties" :-


The End Of The Steps


Pillar in Moonlight
