Still life with a landscape, or a landscape with a still life?
Painted in October 2020 are two porcelain figurines and a bouquet in a blue vase on the table by the window in my art studio.
From my window I can see green hills with trees, houses and sky. I often just sit by the window and watch the colors of sky. Just by the nuance of its blue color I can tell the weather is going to change.
Painted here are the flowers from my garden, pink and purple asters planted there many years ago. Yet they have stayed at the same place for all the time and since I can remember they start to bloom just about the time when the summer is ending. Observing the colder temperatures of the air, the colors of the sky, the first rains of the season and the clouds of tiny purple stars, asters, one can know for sure the autumn has come.
This October has been a bit different, hitting the second lock down I’ve been sitting by my working table in my studio, wondering when the life would go back to normal……Looking at the flowers and seeing all the colors of that October day I’ve felt almost as being transferred into the future, normal future. Or was it just a day dream? Has it been s still life full of colors that has brought back all the memories of normal Octobers? Or has it been the landscape behind the window promising me the better days to come?
