Some landscape paintings leave me feeling detached, unable to relate. I think it might be the distance, the painter's faraway point of view - I'm not sure. But, at any rate, the eleven I've chosen for today's post are landscapes that will involve the viewer in one way or another. At least I hope so.
I'll be doing a post on seascapes in the New Year and that's why no Turner paintings here. I feel he'll fit in better then. My favorite Turners always involve the sea. I know I selected a fairly subdued Van Gogh for my collection, but I love this one.
Remember that these are not the ONLY landscapes I love, just the twelve I love today.

The Harvest is spectacular! Thanks for sharing these Yvette! The trees and the sky are amazing!
I love The Harvest.
Lovely choices. I'm very fond of landscapes. Thank you for sharing.
Have a wonderful, happy, healthy New Year full of great books and art! Happy New Year to you and Rocky!
I love them, too, Yvette. I like the scale of the first one, and I know there's just enough room in my house to hang it. I'm not familiar with the Van Gogh you've chosen, but it strikes me as having the quality of a great block print.
I wonder whether you'll include a Winslow Homer for your seascapes. I'm lobbying for him!
Happy new Year!
Mark
You're welcome, Peggy Ann. A very Happy New Year to you and your family.
I love it too, Ryan. :) But I love all the others too. A very Happy New Year to you and your family, kiddo!
You're welcome, Joan. Rocky and I thank you for your New Year good wishes. And we wish you and your family a very Happy New Year as well. :)
Oh Winslow Homer is definitely slated to be included. :) I love his work.
I think you're right about the Van Gogh, it does have that quality. Well, all these paintings have something in them that attracts me.
A very Happy New Year to you and your family, Mark.
Thanks. Many of these landscapes are just beautiful.
Happy New Year! And for more art appreciation blogs. What a lovely respite from the written words all over the blogosphere. Sometimes beautiful art is necessary for the soul -- and to rest the eyes.
Thanks, Kathy. I'm glad you appreciate what I'm doing. :)
