Alain VoinotEn passant sous les arbres

Trip on the water. Actually I was on the other shore, but that's how you might think. The composition reinforces this idea because I placed my gaze almost at the water level. So I imagine a landscape with a movement that goes forward and, in the background, this row of trees under which we are going to pass. In my pastels, I like to restore a dynamism, a movement. In reality everything that is static is, in a way, "unwelcome", because nothing in nature is really static. Certainly painting is static, but the movement will not be found in the object but in the subject. This "illusion" of truth is in fact perceived by the beholder. The most important thing for me is the light (and therefore the colour, because this is how in painting we restore the light) and the movement. Small morning walk...
