I saw an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. of John Constable’s six-foot paintings and studies. For the first time, his studies and the finished paintings were shown side by side. It was a revelation: The studies were the same size as the finished paintings, and they showed the immediacy of the artist’s hand with their brush strokes and the drama of light and darks and swirls of colors.
It is always an exciting time when an artist starts his or her painting season. Some go on sabbatical, some go off to Europe or enjoy a sojourn in another local for a few weeks or a few months and it is always an exciting start.
In this, his first article, Michael Rogovsky discusses the timelessness of the landscape.  Look at a landscape painting and look at a painting with figures; as one looks through the history of art, the paintings of figures represent the style of the attire of the day. Whether depiction the nobles of the Renaissance or from the court of Louis the fourteenth, the painting can be placed in an historical setting due to the attire of the painted figures. In landscape painting, though, there is the enigma of time.
