Bhí maith a saothar péintéireachtaí na gCalifoirnea nuair bhí sé níos lú phlódaithe. Nílim ábalta fháil imeasc na céann go háirithe ina musaem i bPasadena ansin. Ach, chuir mé eile.
Tá sé ainmnithe "Sléibhte Naomh Jacinto" le Kosa. Phéintéail sé i 1930. Tá iontach agam faoi an ionad go beacht ansin--nó anois.
Go fírinne, tá mo mhac oige Niall féin ag fhéiceail na sléibhte céanna fós is cruinnithe. D'imigh sé go féile mhór go dtí gCoachella in aice leis Fuaráin na bPailme an lá eile. Bíonn cheolchoirm mór sa bhfásach an deireadh tseachtaine seo caite amach ann.
Mar sin féin, beidh sé níos lú ciúin ann, gan amhras. B'fhéidir gheobhaidh Niall radharc álainn seo nuair ag bhreatnaigh suas. Féadfaidh sé féachaint amach ar an h-amharc chomh Kosa fadó.
San Jacinto Mountains.
I saw various paintings by a fine local artist recently. I learned about talented Emil Kosa, Jr. I did not know about him before.
I liked his paintings of California when it was less crowded. I'm not able to find online an image of a particular one at the Pasadena museum there. But, I found another one.
It's named "San Jacinto Mountains" by Kosa. He painted it in 1930. I wonder about the location precisely then--or now.
Certainly, my younger son Niall himself is seeing these same mountains the most accurately. He went away to Coachella near Palm Springs the other day. There's a grand concert in the desert this past weekend.
It will be less quiet now, without a doubt. All the same, perhaps Niall will get this lovely view when looking up. He may gaze out at the vista like Kosa long ago.
