After five days of monochrome, I thought I'd go back to a splash of colours with another look at Morning Star, the Alex Janvier mural at the newly renamed Museum of History over in Gatineau. This is a work of art I'll never get tired of, whether it's seen from down on the ground level (where there are very comfortable chairs for those peering up), or ascending to the top of the Grand Hall and viewing it up close.
I love the colours!
ReplyDeletebeautiful :)
ReplyDeleteThat beautiful Morning Star sure brightens a great many grey days!
ReplyDeleteTook a moment to realise I was looking up not down. Cool
ReplyDeleteIf it's seen from down , I think, is better, because it would be thought that one looked in this way.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Splash indeed. That is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful work of art, it's colouring even the most grey day, I think!
ReplyDeleteOo! That's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteVery nice , I like the bright colours.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you never tire of it. How's the weather? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful bright colors! Love it! So it's on the ceiling? It must look beautiful from down the ground level and also great to see detail up close. I like that the place got chairs so you can view the art comfortably :-)
ReplyDeletethose colors are so cheerful. i enjoy them. ( :
ReplyDeleteWell, it a draw to the upper levels that's for sure. Color wheel!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Full of warmth.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pleasant image, William !
ReplyDeleteLove the colours and I think of the four seasons...
That is gorgeous...it would certainly banish winter blahs!

Bright and cheerful and a nice contrast to your most recent pics!
ReplyDeleteThat's a busy piece with lots of bright color and many different shapes. I can see why you'd take a while to look at it.
ReplyDeletea nice way to jump back in to the palette! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe quite common fascination with greyscales and monochromatic images escapes me. I love colors and this picture is simply great!

ReplyDelete@Jen: I certainly think so.
@Merisi: it does!

It reminds me of how much I loved the kaleidoscopes as a child. It is certainly colorful.
ReplyDeleteA perfect choice to bring some colors back!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fascinating colorful work. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteAfter the last few days it is a sugar rush of colour.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative and uplifting use of color and design!
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
How beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! Sometimes we miss things because we don't look up.
ReplyDeleteIs this a new one? I've been, but don't remember seeing it. I used to take students there for field trips. 'good old days!'
ReplyDeleteI agree that this art id wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. I can see why you like this. So fresh!
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful. It almost reminds me of a suNflower and a clock.
ReplyDeleteI like that! A modern take on what we usually consider historical art form.
ReplyDeleteI can clearly see (no pun intended, William) why this would be a favorite photo opp and it's a place I would regularly return to as well.
