It’s been another scorcher today so here’s a painting of a cool looking night in blues and purples with a hint of gold by a romantic painter. Stay safe and cool tonight.
Johann Georg Haeselich (1806-1894), German artist born in Hamburg
Holstein Sea, Moonlight
Wishing our American Twitter friends a happy Independence Day! So proud my country played a part in it so many years ago. 🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸
Posting a sunflower, a symbol of Ukraine, bathed in moonlight tonight and thinking of the brave Ukrainian people. Good night all.
Anastasiia Grygorieva, contemporary Ukrainian artist
Quiet Ukrainian Night, 2021
This painting reminds me of some works by the French artist Georges de la Tour where subjects are bathed in light without a depiction of the source of lighting. Sweet dreams, fellow Twitterers.
Zenaida Serebryakova (1884-1967), Ukrainian artist
Girl with a Candle
Another dramatic evening sky, this time by a post-impressionist painter, friend of Gauguin, and, later, a pioneer of abstract art. Wishing you all a peaceful night.
Paul Sérusier (1864-1927), French artist
Evening, 1906
I chose tonight’s painting because it brings to mind the drama, anger and discord in the world at the moment. I hope your night is more tranquil and safe.
Mykola Burachek (1871-1942), Ukrainian artist
The Broad Dniepr Roars and Moans, 1941
As the granddaughter of dairy farmers, tonight’s picture brings back fond memories of my childhood. Beautiful sunset too!
Good night, fellow Twitterers.
Christian Skredsvig (1864-1924), Norwegian artist
After Sunset
Cherry tree blossom is one of my favourite sights in spring and this woodblock print depicts it in beautiful, delicate details. Sleep well and stay safe, Twitter peeps.
Hiroshima Yoshida (1876-1950), Japanese artist
Kumoi-Zakura (Kumoi cherry tree), 1920
Ready for the stretcher after a day of housework. Not exciting I admit but, at the moment, normality, however tedious, is comforting. Good night all.
Ole Karako, contemporary Ukrainian artist
Sunset, 2022
As the stork is considered the national bird of Ukraine I chose this picture of a lady protecting a nest which could be interpreted as Ukraine itself. Good night all.
Oleg Shuplyak (b.1967), Ukrainian artist
