I wake most days thinking of Bill Lynch. . “In these pictures everything is alive and communicating wildly. Lynch’s connection to subjects and landscapes, both in life and painting, was empathic: a flower or tree branch sings just as strongly as any bird; likewise a pre-Columbian vessel in spiritual communion with a Chinese philosopher’s stone or a pair of Paleolithic-era rubber-stamped Venuses—and he listened acutely, transcribing their conversation so you could hear it too. Their secrets opened up to him. Everywhere is meaning. Surrounded by his work, you can’t help but be struck by this vibrant language; his sincere belief, his love. . Verne Dawson 2014 . #billlynch

I came across this painting today whilst ‘lesson planning’ It’s humble & simple (cross curricular stuff) But if you look closely the observation is loose and precise . Cheers Winifred . Sandpipers, Alnmouth 1933, Winifred Nicholson . #seasons
