Throne


Imagine.

Like a twisted Hammershoi interior, filtered light illuminates. I've often wondered what lay beyond Hammershoi's canvas. Why his subjects avoid the artist as they avoid the light. Perhaps avoidance results in the calm that permeates through his paintings. Serenity. But is there brilliance and beauty outside the narrowly framed scene? Chaos. A canvas is but a framed perspective. It is up to us to look beyond or avoid.
The light in Denmark, especially in Skagen, is magical.
I've seen so much, but understand so little.
