Staged Painting

This is a very dramatic portrayal of a modest settling on a lake-side. The eye snakes along the fragments of the land that rise above the waters, and reaches a quiet countryside dwelling. The blue hut sits snugly behind a trellis of wild trees. The horizontal streaks of yellow hues suggest a cultivated land and create a lived-in aura. The waters seem fresh and deep, inviting a whole-hearten plunge. The stark blue, yellow and white strokes in the background give the painting a theatrical appeal. Life is indeed theatrical; as Shakespeare rightly said, 'All the world is a stage, And all men and women merely players; They have their exits and entrances'!
