Art Appreciation Series #2

Guo Beiping is the mater painter in this video: 

I read over some of the comments and most were positive.  Personally. Guo Beiping in my eyes is a true master painter and has participated in National Art Exhibitions, which says it all.  

Relax and enjoy this which shows Guo Beiping painting a live model in real time which is not an easy feat for any artist.  The music is relaxing.

This seascape painting by Ramón Marti Alsina lets you experience Catalan's shore as he did.  What I found in my research was particularly interesting because when something comes naturally, I attribute it to my automatic third eye, you know when something looks just right as a photographer, well I found the reason.  The third eye knows that the elements of a great seascape picture should encompass the oars, waves, clouds and stretches of the coast.  As a painter or photographer that combination of elements in a picture gives the viewer a sense of being there with the artist or the photographer at that precise moment in time.  And when the painter is selective with these seascape elements. it's because the artist wants to show us the power and turbulence of the ocean or the sweet tranquility of a walk on the beach. The dreamy beauty or reality that the painter selects is a gift for us to enjoy not only the talent of the artist brush strokes but a look at the mood of the painter which reveals a little of his inner soul.    

Spanish Translation: Esta pintura de paisaje marino de Ramón Marti Alsina te permite experimentar la costa catalana como él lo hizo.  Lo que encontré en mi investigación fue particularmente interesante porque cuando algo surge de forma natural, lo atribuyo a mi tercer ojo automático, sabes cuando algo se me bien como fotógrafa, bueno, encontré la razón.  El tercer ojo sabe que los elementos de una gran imagen de un paisaje marino deben abarcar los remos, las olas, las nubes y los tramos de la costa.  Como pintor o fotógrafo, esa combinación de elementos en una imagen le da al espectador la sensación de estar allí con el artista o el fotógrafo en ese preciso momento.  Y cuando el pintor es selectivo con estos elementos del paisaje marino.  es porque el artista quiere mostrarnos el poder y la turbulencia del océano o la dulce tranquilidad de un paseo por la playa.  La belleza o realidad de ensueño que el pintor selecciona es un regalo para que disfrutemos no solo del talento de las pinceladas del artista, sino de una mirada al estado de ánimo del pintor que revela un poco de su alma interior.

Ramón Martí i Alsina (10 August 1826, Barcelona - 21 December 1894, Barcelona) was a Spanish painter in the Realistic style. 

Google Arts & Culture link to Ramón Marti Alsina "...This coastal landscape demonstrates the realism that was typical of his works, and the perfection of his technique. It includes all the favourite elements of seascape artists – oars, waves, clouds and stretches of coast. The combination enables the painter to play with the colour, lighting and different tonalities."
