The Best Way To Study Cezanne

Mont St Victoire at dawn, when the light is barely sufficient to provide colour. 

Mont St Victoire at breakfast time, when the farmer has taken the cows in from the field for milking, and clouds are slowing down the dawning of the summer day.

Mont St Victoire by mid-morning, the distant grey-brown blur now discernible as hill and wood, and even a residue of snow on the mountain summit.

Mont St Victoire by lunchtime, the artist's eyes damp and therefore blurry from the intensity of concentration, and a mild allergy to the chemicals in the paints, but at least, stopping for a baguette, he has managed to work out how, maybe, to capture the shifting time between commencement and completion.

Mont St Victoire in the afternoon, riviera sunshine, dense, intense colours, light almost overpowering in its luminosity.

And all this, in just one, single painting.
