I never believed the inverting of figures was anything but awkward. His belief is that you read his paintings differently, as connected shapes. I spend all my time trying to turn them the correct way in my mind. I still like his paintings but they would be better the right way up, why is no one else doing it? The point of this ramble is the sky in this painting seems to be an inverted landscape? This is a lovely spring afternoon with the light filtering through the trees, this is the effect I am aiming at. For anyone who has realized that this painting is of the same hill as the previous painting but seen from the east, I’m impressed, thanks for paying attention.
