Like, farouk, I was intrigued about who the painter was. I've never heard of Erin Hanson. Painters can have even more depth than poets, I think. :)

@bukka I'm not sure about the last statement (the precious words and doctrine from Scripture at the Renaissance/Reformation were in the end more profoundly effective that the art imagery of the Middle Ages) but I do agree that there is a lot of sometimes untapped depth in paintings and their painters' relationship with the landscape or the subject of portrait.

I think, farouk, that painting may have more depth to it in that it is even more symbolical. Symbols visually embody more meaning than words which are usually more abstract. But maybe this is only an opinion on my part.

Thanks again, farouk and Waiting on him. This board is a good place for posting creative writing. I hope others shall post things as well.

@bukka The medium is different from words, but profound also.

@bukka, I wasn't trying to highjack your thread. I've heard it said that 70% of all communication is expressive. I just thought I'd share because Erin's art in my opinion is very expressive.

@bukka Yes, indeed... :)

I think that artists like Erin Hanson would be intrigued and inspired also by US state such as Montana and Alaska, with all their grandiose landscapes, bathed in natural colour.
