a burning windmill -Adriaen Lievensz van der Poel

7/04/2008

I adore this, I adore everything about this.

In fact i’m going to get a print of this for the cottage wall, then once again I can attempt to use nails and screws and other masculine paraphernalia.

The colour is just gorgeous, nothing too clear, people hidden in shadows..is this a dark evil burning of the windmill, or are the people trying to put it out? I cant work it out.

I love the rickety X of the sails, the central window almost looks like a wee man robot if you blur your eyes and look at those two bright eye spots
