Light Dazzles

See It On A Postcard's  Thursday Postcard Hunt looking for light, or bright, colours

Venice, the Bridge of Sighs - exhibited 1840
JMW Turner working his magic with water, sky and light in a dreamlike view of Venice. A place he visited three times.
Pottery by Patrick Caulfield 1969
The paintings of  Patrick Caulfield (1936-2005) from the 1960s are characterised by flat areas of colour with objects defined by outlines. 'Pottery' is probably his most famous painting from that decade. His style would change permanently in the 1970s with highly complex paintings that play with definitions of reality and artifice.  From static colourful pots
"Fashionable Irish Sheep"
to sheep bringing a splash of colour to an island that has 40 shades of green.
