The hills of Donegal in her Irish homeland inspired this week’s travel challenge -- hills -- from blogger Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney at
Where's My Backpack. Quite a few other bloggers have responded with hill photos from Australia, Spain and around the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, Midwestern USA, the British Isles, and elsewhere. As I looked, I was thinking about paintings of hills and mountains: Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico; Cezanne in Provence; Hokusai at Mount Fuji... . Since these photos really speak for themselves, I'm also sharing this to Wordless Wednesday (well, almost wordless).
This is a nice selection for his challenge

ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings! I think my favourite is the Turner but it is a difficult decision.
ReplyDeleteReally cool take on the theme, Mae!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful collection of hills in art, very original!
ReplyDeleteWhen that Cezanne popped up I said out loud, "Oh! That will be my favorite!" But then others came and now I am at a loss. Very beautiful!
