One of my favorites! I saw a Turner exhibition I believe at the Getty in Los Angeles a few years ago
You are very fortunate!
Thank you very much for your visit and comment! 🙏
I always thought he was sort of ‘second rate’ but my appreciation for his work is growing… 😉
Early on, I was like that too. I could recognize the brillance but could not relate. That has changed 180°!
I’m glad your appreciation is growing.
Interesting how the artist uses the color of fire from a distant view to deliver his message. Yamas!
Isn’t it?!
Yamas, my friend.
Amazing painting, Marina. Happy Saturday! Enjoy your weekend! 💗❤️🌸🦋🥰
Oh, I agree with you! Thank you, my dearest Lauren. You too…. 🧡☀️🧡🌟🧡🌻🧡🎶🧡

All of his paintings are just astounding in person. Vanguard so close to impressionistic and abstract painting.
Astounding is right, my friend! A truly remarkable master painter.
I saw a Turner exhibition in Hamburger Kunsthalle back in the 1970s (1976?). I remember I was impressed, although I don’t remember the details.
Well, it is quite a few decades back, so details can fade, but I’m sure if you were to see his paintings again, details would all come back! 😉
I saw the same exhibition. In fact I made the above comment 🙂 but I was somehow ‘anonymous.’ 🙂
It’s WP playing games… (🙄). My apologies on their behalf.
Seeing his paintings live is an experience to remember indeed! I’ve seen his paintings in London.
What a mesmerizing painting. Saw a Turner exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario a few short years ago. Great show!
Mesmerizing indeed!
I am celebrating William Turner with you on my side of the world. This is one of my favouite quotes (I had to add a quote) “It is only when we are no longer fearful that we begin to create.”
That is a very profound quote you chose, Rebecca and very true too. What a painter! Thank you for joining me in celebrating W.T.! Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Many hugs.
That’s a wonderful painting.
I agree – so real I feel the heat of the fire!!
My thoughts exactly!!! 😘
Mind blowing isn’t it?!
