« You go in, they draw the curtains, and the navigation begins. The gods come down onto the naked bodies and the islands are set adrift, lost souls crowned with the tousled hair of palm trees in the wind. Try it.»
– Albert Camus {source}

Captivating expressive landscape paintings (with four comments) by Angela Ooghe. Blue vastness, ample foliage.
« I painted this last year [2011] when my work was much closer to realism.»
« In this painting, I wanted to show the vastness and almost unbearable brightness of this day in the Florida Everglades.»
« I’ve painted five docked fishing boats against a background of coconut palms and dense tropical foliage.»
« This is a common scene in South Florida. Beautiful and unruly and also what will become of your yard if neglected.»
