I'm no Waldemar Januszczak, I know that.
I can't even pronounce his name, let talk authoritatively about art in anything like the way he does.
But I've always thought you don't need to be an expert to have an opinion on art. That's kind of the point.
A colleague of mine has just been raving about this picture - but it's not my cup of tea. As far as I'm concerned, it's a bit too mock-Van Gogh.
It's by a painter called Tin Odescalchi (she's got Hungarian ancestry) who's got a show on celebrating the landscapes of Cornwall, Scotland and the Cotswolds around her home. Paintings in the show range from £750 to £7500
Tin reckons any initial suspicions farmers and landowners have of her soon disappears when they discover she's an artist. It's then, she says, a case of: Get On My Land. A local farmer in the Cotswolds even left a load of found bales out in a field in the winter so she could paint them.
Each is, according to the gallery, a "sumptuous, thickly painted essay in post impressionism."
I'm not sure what that means, but I was invited to the private view so was intending to go, but missed it unfortunately.
Shame, I imagine there would have been free canapés and wine.
Relf you Philistine! I really like this painting. I can't claim to be an art buff either but I like the way Tin has captured and portrayed this farming scene. The light on the bales and the field beyond is, in my opinion, rather beautiful.
