Behind the Scene

Another painting in the Reflection series, the mirror in Behind the Scene reveals another dimension to the view of a restaurant's interior. Two wait staff have set the tables and work at their stations in preparation for expected patrons. The view of the room is from a higher vantage point, which allows a good depiction of the beautiful carpeting and dark, rich furniture. The white linen table cloths offer bright relief from an intimate and subdued environment. Light enters hesitantly from side windows, enriching the carpet pattern. Some scenes make you pause the moment you see them. This is one of them, where all the visual elements harmonize, like a good symphony. I look at this painting and it makes my eyes feel good.

Discovery II

 
This award-winning painting of a young girl exploring the shoreline is the second interpretation of the same subject. Some subjects are timeless. This one continues to intrigue for several reasons: The pose of her bent form reflecting in the mirrored surf suggests her as an Alice in Wonderland in search of something and finding herself. Completely concentrated on her activity she is innocently unaware of herself, of the tension she puts on her legs, and of the net clamped inside her arm. It's not difficult relating to her private moment when our mind is One with the object, and captivated by our discovery. To see more paintings visit http://www.karlbronk.com
