The subtle burnt umbers and soft yellows used
in Lonesome Journey take us immediately to the dry deserts of Arabia: One tiny
man is making his way across those sandy plains to a city which sits high and
bold on the horizon – In comparison he is somewhat insignificant.
Lonesome Journey is a metaphor. In many ways it
reflects how many of us have felt at some point in our lives – Alone and on a
journey to a place that right now seems a long way off in the distance. Even
so, while this oil painting may provoke ideas and portray a deeper meaning, it
is also extremely aesthetically appealing.
Impressionism was an art form which blended the
world between personal expression and realism. Artists such as Pablo Picasso
then pushed this concept further by expressing emotional responses more
fervently – using color and shape to represent the world: Therefore placing the
onus upon more than simple reproduction.
Lonesome Journey has a somewhat apprehensive,
somewhat somber feel; yet the bright yellow reflects hopeful anticipation. The
full moon represents a new cycle and while our lonesome traveler may not know
what awaits him, there is light on the horizon: A sensitive and expressive oil
painting that touches on the abstraction both aesthetically and visually.
