I spent some time in the studio this afternoon, stretching canvas and beginning a new painting in my “paysages planétaires” series. A big inspiration for this series is the work of Swiss symbolist and proto-expressionist (my designation) Ferdinand Hodler. (Occasionally I reblog Hodler images on my tumblr.) I believe I came across the term “paysage planétaire” in some essays about his work. Alas, I can’t find the reference now.
Maybe it came to me in a dream.
In any case, this one is started. Each painting is an experiment. Who knows how it will turn out!
