While I was away I missed Abbey's post about this painting, "Running Before the Storm." I'm so in love with it I can hardly look at it!! Strange, considering this style of painting is not something I'm usually drawn to. It dates back to the 1870's and the artist is unknown. I love the colours -- the intensity of the storm against the pastel coloured farm houses, that white horse sticking out from it all. I love all the movement covering every inch of the painting -- the guy chasing his hat, all the trees bending to the wind, the dust, the black horse. It's just so so lovely. Instead of hanging in my living room, "Running Before the Storm" is currently residing at the Museum of Fine Art in Boston.Tuesday, July 29, 2008
