Very Vast Vistas: July 26

Zoomed-out photographs of this great big world are ah-mazing. It kinda makes me wish I didn’t live in the city. 
Below you’ll find a rainbow of scenic spaces, mostly found on tumblr, arranged by little ol’ me:

Haymaker and the Sleeping Girl, Thomas Gainsborrow, late 1780s

Oil on canvas

A pastoral film blankets the scene in the warmth of a summer day on a simple hillside. The girl relaxes, guarded by her dog and watched over by a farmer who leans against the fence that divides them. The warm-toned, tender brush strokes give only faint outlines in some areas and great detail in others, making the whole scene seem like the dream of the sleeping girl– too beautiful to really exist anywhere besides a painting.

Skulldiver III (Flightmask), Cecily Brown, 2006

A large swath of pinky flesh-tones drips and sags as the canvas’s main attraction. The color scheme is what I love most. That’s all this painting really is anyway– random slashes and markings in colors that barely seem to go together in some places. The top layer of paint is raised, built up and sometimes too thick. Above the fleshy X is a closed pair of eyes, the eyelashes nearly lost in the color, but the thick dark eyebrows give them away.

Oil on linen.
