This landscape of a tree in winter was made by the Swiss artist Cuno Amiet (1868-1961). Quietly composed, the image, tree, and the viewer join in urging the morning sun to rise.
A blue-shaded lamp served as the starboard light for writer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette's imaginary journeys after she became too frail to leave her room. Her invitation, extended to all, was "Regarde!" Look, see, wonder, accept, live.

Breathtaking! I love this simple image.
I love the simplicity of this piece, it's solitary wintery aloneness.
Wonderful image and good comment.
There's more Amiet on the way.
