Our eyes are fortunately incapable of perceiving such infinitesimal details and only inform the mind what it needs to see. Again, the mind itself has a special task to perform without our knowledge; it does not take into account all that the eye offers, but connects the impressions it receives with others that have gone before, and depends for its enjoyment on conditions present at the time. This is so true, that the same view will not produce the same impression when seen from a different angle." The Journal of Eugene Delacroix (1798-1863) by Hubert Wellington.<br />Some of my oldest books have gotten so expensive online that I keep them in ziplock bags!!<br />Wait a minute the ups just delivered another book!!<br />I promise no matter how valuable you are I won't try to bag you!!<br />So thankful, TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-30060689655604183352011-01-04T09:13:09.640-05:002011-01-04T09:13:09.640-05:00Great stuff- I love the little drawing Constable w...Great stuff- I love the little drawing Constable worked from! You can see his mind breaking down the scene as he worked.<br /><br />I think Constable adopted the practice of trying out the full sized studies after he screwed up on earlier pieces that were promising when begun but then headed south. When I get a really good study, I won't touch it because I want to preserve what's good in it at all costs. I'll often make a copy and then try additional moves on that second surface.<br /><br />And yes, it is so good to be reminded that "pochade" rhymes both with "Cod" and "Arcade". Truly a remarkable word.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-87118322488329219132011-01-04T08:56:19.944-05:002011-01-04T08:56:19.944-05:00By painting twice, do you suppose he was familiari...By painting twice, do you suppose he was familiarizing himself with the scene.
