Dandelions Towering

8/2/2012

This is my latest painting.
I used OilBars and oil paint.

It is the second one in a the theme of dandelions.
This time I used a dramatic perspective. But I also wanted to include some Van Gogh influences, which I think i accomplished with some of the swirls in the sky.

Here is the painting and 2 areas of detail.

Van Gogh - Parc Brequigny

7/2/2012

I'm calling this one Parc Brequigny as it reminds me very strongly of a local park here in Rennes.

I found the original in a book of Van Gogh's paintings.
While it was my goal to essentially copy the work, I found my brush strokes were not as fluid as his and this led me to create my own differences, particularly with the blue fir tree. Nevertheless I am satisfied with my approximation.

One can easily see the difference in hues, but then again the source taken from the book (on the left) is a crude scan. I've been finding substantial differences in hues between scanned images of Van Gogh's paintings on the web.
Would love to actually see the original work, apparently last seen in an auction at Christie's in NY 13/05/1980
