Menonday Art Vibe; Henry Kondracki Peeks
The third and last of my introduction to the painting of HK, son of Polish post-war immigrants, born in Auld Reekie, and clearly much in love with it. He also has a deep appreciation of the waters that permeate and surround this Bonny Land. This image, which I screenshot from the online exhibition (linked in the first of these three posts), could be anywhere around the coast, but it is singing to me because I watch trawlers out on the Clyde Firth, sometimes in very choppy waters like this! This is a smaller piece, and within budget, so am considering purchase. Indeed, by the time this posts, I will be over at this year's Annual Open Exhibition at the National Gallery, and I will take the opportunity to ask to see this 'in the canvas' and make a decision...

ReplyDeleteOh I hope you do purchase this, it will be a joy to look at each day. The waves and the ship seem lively.
ReplyDeletethat is like real... its so vivid and a wonderful piece of art
ReplyDeleteRather intimidating, all that turbulence around!
ReplyDeleteI really like that! I can almost feel the spray and the choppy water!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the introduction to Henry Kondracki's artwork, particularly his depiction of coastal scenes. The emotions evoked by his pieces are palpable. On a separate note, for those looking to increase their online presence, downloading relevant apps, such as Top Follow app for Instagram followers, can be a useful strategy.
ReplyDeleteLove the painting with its choppy waters!
ReplyDeleteGiven your affinity for vessels that ply Scottish waters, YAM, it would be a wonderful acquisition for you. It conveys the vulnerability of a small boat at the mercy of the roiling sea and the skill of the mariners who steer it through the storm.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is beautiful. I would not want to be out on boat on the choppy waters.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and a happy week ahead!
What a beautiful painting. I hope you decide to add it to your collection.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful detail, especially with the movement of the water!
ReplyDeleteYAM AUNTY I CAN ALMOST HEAR THE WAVES AND FEEL THE OCEAN SPRAY

Wonderful painting, Glad to read.
ReplyDeleteA heart stoping picture. A real little boat in a real big sea.
ReplyDeleteIt is stunning
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if this is what the boat the disciples were on, in a storm, when Jesus came walking to them over the waters. Its beautiful. the water looks wet to the touch and the storm waters are so realistic
