Fine art- a window into the past of our veteran trees

[David Humphries]

All that first pic is missing are the figures. Uncanny!

 

Made me think of these shots the minute sean posted it.

Taken last year in the Basque.

 

Certainly is uncanny, though a little out of rotation.

one of my favorite Van Goghs........'Birch Pollards'

 

Just to be obtuse and illustrate that the exception proves the rule !

Van Gogh's life, in many ways, epitomised the struggle that talent often has in a world of social prejudice !

Perhaps the absence of the figures depicts the lack of use this rotation/crop "enjoys" ?

You cant beat a Van Gogh up close and personal!

As far as I could gather at the time, this particular crop is still being harvested.

 

Much like the thousands of street side Ash & Mountain side Beech of that region.

 

Although ofcourse, there is a hugely significant drop in the requirement &/or need of the crop, even where the practice is still alive.

 

If you have the time/will, have a look at the shot of the recent ash pollards from here.......

Appologies for the slight derail Tony.

 

It is kinda connected, in terms of how artists see what's in front of them & what actually is.

 

I unequivocally blame sean, for chucking in the Birch etching
