And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Gustaf Fjaestad - "Winter landscape with ski tracks"
The portrait is provacative. One thing I didn't do was cross country skiing. There were some runs I wanted to try, but I never got round to it. Such is my lament, there is not enough time to do it all. This landscape reaches out.

ReplyDeleteCW: I have neglected to thank you for posting so many wonderful images of truly beautiful paintings over the weeks, months and years. THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome! I'm glad people like this - makes it worth hunting them down and posting once or twice a week.
DeleteMy GF is a painter, I always send her these posts.
