Painterly Landscape

Fidelity to a landscape is in the
eye of the beholder. Love of nature
and the environment created  by
the consummate creator, displaying
scenes of elegance and beauty transport
what is viewed from the lens of the
beholder to the heart of the matter.
Should that eyesight reflect the
gifted artistry of a painter, then the
object is to borrow from nature
her impeccable sense of time and place
her masterly handling of form and
colour, the architecture of the 
landscape whose majesty has awed
and motivated the ardent onlooker
to emulate, as much as possible the
spirit of the world of nature that
cradles us and urges us to make of
that world our own within which we
are given generous leave to share
gently in the bounty of living treasures.
