Last week we went up to the JMW Turner exhibit at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco. Turner (1775 – 1851) was a landscape painter, watercolorist and printmaker. Because of his very “unfinished looking” style, he was highly controversial. It was that characteristic that I found appealing in his work. He was content only suggesting and didn’t feel the need to overly define. I loved the drama of this painting and it had a handy bench right in front of it where I could sit and paint in my journal (the frame was added when I got home.)
