What fun I am going to have with this series! To explain what I am doing; Basically removing parts of a painting and placing them outside of their "home". It allows myself and the viewer to see a detail of the painting with greater focus. Of course I try and create a theme being it humor or serious, mostly humor. Let us see how this goes!! ALSO I AM ADDING A NEW artistic inclusion to this page. Both sections reveal each other in the sense they create a parallel social scene divided by time. Via a stage setting I want the images to become a further visual voice of life. An affirmation of life in very simple terms.
This painting was created by Bruegel who lived from 1525-1569. The painting is called "The Peasant And The Birdnester" created in 1568. What I love about Brugel are his depictions of daily life in the 16th century. The expressions of the people, what their clothing looked like, their homes and in general their daily lives. Almost as if a photograph was taken. A picture into the past. In the above painting the isolated Peasant becomes a bit more alive. It does to me and I hope you find it interesting too.

This image represents a small portion of a larger painting called "The Blue Cloak" painted in 1559. This individuals action is painted by Bruegel and is a pictorial representation of a Netherlandish Proverb that says, "He resents the sun shining on the water (he is so stingy that he even resents the sun)". Wow, seems like human nature has not changed so much. It takes all kinds to make up this world of ours!
"Landscape With The Fall Of Icarus" painted in 1558 by Bruegel. What I love about his paintings are the wonderful details. The clothing of the time. People going about their daily tasks. The shape and form of the landscape. Enjoy.
A section of a Bruegel painting called "The Peasant Dance" painted in 1568. Wonderful detail of peasants dancing and having a good old time. The child and small woman in the foreground are happy and having a good time dancing with each other. I can hear the Bag Pipe playing its enchanting and captivating music. In general, dancing and listening to music are some of the joys in life.
"The Harvesters" painted in 1565 by Bruegel. This is a segment of a larger painting, but I liked the individual stuck with the task of bringing water to the other workers in the fields. Labour was king back in those days. No GPS guided machines, only scythes, cordage, and putting your back into it!
A full view of "The Blue Cloak" dated 1559 by Bruegel. Each character in the picture is related to a Netherlandish Proverb. The two character's extruded from the picture are "He Bangs His Head Against The Wall" and the other "The World Turns On His Thumb-He's Got The World On A String". These two people from long ago seem at opposite ends of the emotional spectrum. Nothing seems to have changed in the past 446 years as far as the human psychic goes. To be human is to be human!

A stage. An actor. Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." I love that quote. Here we have a dapper, young person standing confidently before the world!
The cycle of life. The giver of life. The natural wonder of it all and the magical moments it procures from our hearts. An endless circle as all circles are!
