Three Constable skies and a note on the weather,  Great Britain, 1821-1822.

John Constable transformed the genre of oil sketching from one used for recording landscape motifs to a means of capturing transient effects of light and weather.

When working outdoors, Constable painted on fragments of canvas, millboard or home-made paper. As he explained to a friend in 1825, his oil sketches ‘were done in the lid of my box on my knees as usual’. On some of them, he inscribed notes on the conditions at the time, like the one featured above that reads ‘looking S.E. noon. Wind very brisk. & effect bright & fresh. Clouds. moving very fast. With occasional very bright openings to the blue’.

Funziona così la mia vita: Un giorno so tutto ciò che voglio fare, spero su tutto e credo in tutto ciò in cui credo, ma poi ci sono quei giorni, come oggi, che non so più chi sono e allora cado e nulla ha più un senso.

These little kids at MoMA were trying to recreate this piece of art and it made my life.
