corner view: all the small things

Corner View is a weekly appointment - each Wednesday - created by Jane (Spain) and curated by Francesca (Italy), where bloggers from all corners of the world share their view on a pre-arranged theme. The theme this week is "all the small things", and comes from Babies (Slovenia).

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together" ~ Vincent Van Gogh

Oh, it's a good idea to show us a painting to illustrate this topic. There are always lots of very interesting details to see.

So very lovely. Our Museum of Fine Art is hosting The Age of Impressions. I went two years ago and I am looking forward to going at Christmas time.I am a small moment person but this will be a big moment for me.

Interesting - the details- up close doens't look like a boquet of flowers- but from afar- a work of art!! Love how you did that!

perfect quote, and perfect and appropriate iconographic way to prove it!

Redeker said...

those hands holding the flowers....it seems like nothing, some simple strokes...and all the small strokes makes a beautiful painting!

Came over here, when I was mesmerized by this picture, in your Sidebar.

This is such a lovely post!

And I love, love, love how you showed us close up, and then farther and farther "out." Love this technique, for showing pictures. !!!!
