EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "The Excitement of Departure" (circa 1929) This oil painting, created around 1929, showcases the serene beauty of nature through the depiction of five swans gracefully gliding on a tranquil lake. The peaceful scene is disrupted, however, by the dynamic action of one swan in the foreground. With its wings frantically flapping, this swan is in the midst of taking off, adding a sense of excitement and energy to the otherwise still image. The artist, Nora Hamilton, masterfully captures the delicate balance between stillness and motion, calm and chaos, in this stunning work of art. The swans' elegant forms are rendered with great detail and precision, their feathers shimmering in the soft light reflecting off the water. The reflection of the swans and the surrounding trees in the lake adds an additional layer of depth and complexity to the painting. Nora Hamilton's "The Excitement of Departure" is a beautiful example of the artistic skill and vision of the early 20th century. The use of oil paints allows for a rich and vibrant color palette, bringing the scene to life in a way that would be difficult to achieve with other mediums. The overall effect is one of tranquility and wonder, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the natural world around them. This artwork, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a testament to the enduring appeal of nature as a source of inspiration for artists, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity that can be found in even the most seemingly ordinary moments.
