Happy Birthday Anthony Vandyke Copley Fielding!! This English watercolorist was born in 1787, and known as Copley Fielding. He was a student of John Varley. His father was a painter as well, and it has been said their work was near indistinguishable. The influence of Turner is apparent. I fell in love with the stormy seascape, below, created in pencil and watercolor. Note the sections that have been scratched out to reveal the white paper, adding to the drama of the crashing waves.
Van Gogh's Ear is an in depth look at famous artists on their birthday. This is the second year a post is made each day about a famous artist, his/her art, interesting facts, personal experiences, etc. on their birthday. So, lend me your ear...
