What was he seeing and feeling as he painted them?
However it was Van Gogh's painting of Madame Ginoux that I completed. My colors on this are mostly the same as his original....very bright. He used red as an outline for her eyes. So cool. Doing this gave me a little insight to Van Gogh.
Thank you for this challenge.

The colors are fantastic Gemma. How exciting it is to try and paint like the masters. I did that one time and painted his doctor, Dr. Gachet and in fact I still have it in my studio. You really get into it and like you said wonder about their thoughts as they painted. You did a great job, congratulations. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteGemma,
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant - absolutely brilliant. BTW, brilliant is a word that the English use that Americans do not use enough and never in the way the English do!
I adored this challenge too, Gemma. I was moved to research and read and just thrilled through the process and came to very much appreciate Vincent's work in a way I'd never done before. Love your representation of Mme. Giroux! I think Vincent was a very tortured soul, alas. Wish I could have known him!
ReplyDeleteLove that this is inspired by Van Gogh...love his work and this is a great interpretation of his style...wow...very nice!
ReplyDeleteOh MY! Incrdible..Van Gghis my favorite..Gaugin and Dufy are right up ther. Yu odid a fabulous job.
ReplyDeleteGemma, this is fantastic. Like a musician doing covers of her favorite songs... and I so love this painting. I love how your personality shines through in your version. Very playful and slightly mischievous, yet somehow soft, dreamy, and maybe a touch melancholy.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thanks for sharing :)
This is just spectacular. What an amazing challenge. I visited the challenge site and could not get over what I found in the Oct. 26th post. Well down, Gemma.
