Paul Peel

The Art Gallery of Ontario posted a Paul Peel image on fb this morning and it reminded me of our trip to there this summer. Every time the husband and I would gasp at an astonishing piece, well, it was a Peel. I think his work is simply divine and absolutely inspired.


This one, The Young Gleaner, hangs in the Art Gallery of Ontario. It's so full of life. The light coming through the girls hat is astounding. I could stand and look at it for hours.

Here are a few more beautiful Peel's to peek at. Imagine what he would have painted had he lived past 32!

    I've never seen his work before, I love it...Especially the top picture of the little girl. The light, shadows and hues are gorgeous.
