I don't know why I don't copy the masters more often! I have such a great time doing it and learn so much every single time! When you look at a Van Gogh, do you think of the layers and layers of paint? The hundreds and hundreds of brushstrokes? No, me, either, I simply stand in awe of his purposeful strokes, and keen color sense, as well as his amazing rendering skills.
So here is my interpretation of his angel. I love all the many blues against the gold.
I am very proud of myself that I've done 8 in a row. Believe it or not there are a handful of rejects that I may or may not get in shape!
This is beautiful, Kelley. I love the light in her hair!
ReplyDeleteI love this one Kelley! How great to learn from the Masters.
ReplyDeleteThis must have been fun. Wow- all those strokes and luscious blues - nicely done.
ReplyDeleteHoly Van Gogh, Batman, I think you have channeled his style and made it your own! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWow Kelley! You knocked this one out of the park. I was scrolling through Leslie's 30 in 30 posts and your painting stopped me. I love how you handled the paint and the angels face and hair. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteKelly - what a beautiful angel. Those blues are so gorgeous. Have a great day.
