Eye Candy for Today: Bierstadt’s California Spring
I don’t really wish to paint this way myself (not that I’m suggesting I could:) but whenever I see a Bierstadt landscape it nearly gives me shivers and If I was standing in front of one I am sure I would have goose bumps! That sky is a bit romantic but damn if it doesn’t look solid enough to fly through. And all that beautiful violet as well.
Thanks for the share.
