The Creation

“Some advice: Do not paint too much after nature; art is an abstraction, derive this abstraction from nature while dreaming before it, and think more of the creation which will result than of nature.”
Paul Gauguin 1848-1903

Do you agree?

    Nature is perceived in so many ways. It is the perception, true and insightful perception, that can result in great pieces of art.

    So yes, I agree, and I love your picture.

    You've got a beautiful abstraction with this shot. I'm not normally a big fan of the soft images like what you've done here, but this one really works.

    Nature simply "is"... this is why it is so serene... while we try to create. Don't you think?
