Really cool😊

When are you going to do the cab

I love this painting. It is so realistic. Haystacks are a universal symbol. They are different in America, cubes or giant wheels of hay.

You should be proud of yourself. You have done a fantastic job. Well done!

Thx appreciate this ❤

Love Salvador Dali ❤

definitely suggest putting some of your art on the end wall if you havent already, when they were in service they had photos of regional victoria on the end walls of all of the tait cars to encourage tourism

Cogently presented analysis, and I especially appreciated how you observed that Matisse here both objectifies his subject while also paradoxically suggesting insight into her character, or at least his own feelings about his wife.

Excellent work. The carriage was in remarkable condition, but you have given it a new life. I'd love to know the back story about who put it there. The design of the tunnel at the front really looks good too. I remember riding them to Middle Park in the late 70s.

AMAZING JOB ‼️ Congratulations ‼️

In middle school we had an art class assignment to paint part of a painting of your choice I wint with nighthawk, but I considered this my favorite painting, because I felt it show there was mystery and intreage even in the mundane. Many of the questions you ask about the figures and the context I thought of at the time. And yet it was so sarrien. A slice of life that could have been any one of a doussen night's doing something just for the sake of it. I'm glad I'm not the only one to appreciate this masterpiece.

It has recently been discovered that the irises were originally rendered a vivid violet hue, van Gogh using a then recently developed red paint to blend with the blue for that effect. This red paint proved highly sensitive to light, and over time has faded leaving the bright blue impression we have today.

I will subscribe to your channel so as not to lose 😍

it's incredible, such high-quality work, thank you very much, my dream is to do the same❤❤❤

I think the narrow value range is one way Vincent managed to calm down and unify the painting. With all of those shapes and lines, it could have been way too busy with a lot of lights and darks as well. It's a testament to how good he was that it does not seem busy at all. At the age of 67, having been a fan of Van Gogh since I was a teenager, I find it impossible at this point to view his paintings out of the context of his life. I'm looking at a large print of his "Oleanders" above my desk as I write this, and every time I look at it, I can't help but think of the man himself and his life. It's purely involuntary. But I also admire it just as a painting, no matter who painted it, and the same is true for the "Irises." It's just a great painting, period.

Yes I am so happy to have found you! Exactly 👍. Thank you!

Music is loud and disrups voice.

thank you so much! i’m using this artwork for my analysis in school and this video was very helpful, great commentary and i love your accent😁

❤❤❤❤I am mesmerized by hay stacks or bundles. I can literally feel the warmth of the sun beams and the sweet aroma of hay OR the REFRESHING chill of the autumn mist after the heat of sumner. GOD BLESS CLAUDE MONET

Great restoration work, looks great and certainly looks alot better than the before. Good to see it fixed up.

I remember riding on these ones in the blue ones growing up they were awesome

I can't believe it's a 1915 train. You did a great job! Best art studio ever!

AI art? - better call it copying on purpose

Another wildly helpful video for a budding painter. Thanks, Geoff! In spite of hearing the atmospheric perspective points before, you have really brought them together in a way that clicks for me much more now - and this painting is a perfect choice to demonstrate comparing and contrasting the technique. Such a wealth of great material here. Thank you!

Geoff, just want to say that I’m a huge fan of your channel. As somebody learning to paint (oils) at the moment, I find your commentary and videos deeply inspiring and helpful. Just wanted to say a very big thank you and hope you keep up the amazing work! (Also your comment about the guy taking that really big step here completely transformed how I see this painting and it became so much more visceral - that immediate mind shift was wonderful!)

Wow, what work 🎉looks great

I think you may have jumped to conclusions here. Maybe he had been gone less than 9 months, hence it could easily have been is his baby. It was not unusual for men to have had quite long beards at that time. She would have been surprised to hear anyone suddenly fly through the door without knocking and the added shock that it was him may have been the reason she didn't lift the iron. Why assume she had been unfaithful. A lot of men in that time who were away from their wives were unfaithful and possibly moreso.

Cézanne is not me . I can only stand him when there are colours_ not pale ones. I've been taught the "structure" of his works but still...

I just found your channel! Many thanks for sharing your insights.

What a great explanation of atmospheric perspective ! I really found that fascinating !

Excellent Geoff, I really enjoyed your discussion, my ‘thing’ is landscape photography and your analysis of this, one of my favourite paintings, has been really useful, thanks for sharing. Keep them coming 👊🏻👊🏻

Hi, great vid. I'm also in Australia, can I ask why you don't want zinc in your primer?

I hate to break this to you but the glue will ooze up thru the pre primed canvas. So, the lead primer is adhering to the glue which may delaminate over time. Probably sooner than later. I have seen this within just a few years. I would suggest another method. Glue raw linen on the panel using sizing glue, also onto surface of linen. Then apply primer.

a little subjective

Well done!

No. It's not art. It's just a bunch of squares. There's no talent needed what so ever.

What a job and well done in preserving a bit of history.

Thank you for your work, Geoff. You deserve a larger audience, but I am thankful to be a part of it.

Why wast money on canvas, you can easily paint onto the aluminum after priming it.

This is what you call art. Absolutely beautiful. Also the video is perfectly narrated.❤

I first heard about this painting in my early twenties. Last year, at age 58, I finally got to the Tate Museum with my daughter. This painting is just as amazing in person. The colors are exquisite.

Amazing video 🎀 I love your voice and your wat of explanation

Amazing job, congratulations

Nice work. When you tackle the driver's cab don't open any of the boxes. They may still contain asbestos.

Whew!.

320 built as 46BCP 6/9/1915 at Newport Workshops, renumbered/rebuilt to 320M 11/1921, modified with a communication door 30/9/1972, renumbered 478M 18/6/1981, renumbered to 1428M around 1983, placed at current location 1990

I like this painting. Looking at it and thinking this was done just over a hundred years ago it almost feels as if it is in the wrong time period. This painting looks like it came from the pastel era of the 1980s. Some of the shapes look like records and everything relating to music, like this was painted for a music recording studio. When it comes to meaning and abstract I sometimes wonder if it does matter or does it need to mean something. If the color and shapes are appealing than that might be enough. Granted a piece of art that does tell a story is an intriguing one, but sometimes art for art's sake might be better off just existing for the sake of existing.

As a former master roofer of carriages we did it old fashioned way I have being taught….. strip the canvas and relay it again!!! They used paint the roof timber with bituminous paint to keep the water out of the timbers! But if the canvas seal is not broken or leaking in anyway or rotten painted over with ember clad will do!

Thank you so much for an amazing video!! I love all your videos. Especially the ones where you introduce us to Australian paintings but you know how to pick out alot of works that aren't talked about alot as well and I appreciate that. Please keep at it guy you run a great channel❤
