Soir Antique or Ancient Evening ~ 1908 ~ Alphonse Osbert (French, 1857-1939)

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL

Maybe that's why I romanticize: not because I'm naïve, but because I need to believe even sorrow has texture, even loss has grace

I dream of soft gardens and radiant Summer days and peace and rest.

The smell of herbs and damp soil when the sun starts to warm the ground.
