NOT VAN GOGH'S BLUE IRIS'S
Ink & watercolor.....
When I sat down to paint, I thought I would try to copy another Van Gogh...even though I never ''copy'' but I do interpret...:) But after a few brush strokes, I decided to just 'take off on my own"...:) After all if I did copy him I might have to cut off my ear or something...:)
I picked up the paint brush and went right to it....no pre drawing! I love doing this! It helps me ''get loose'' and lose all the details I think I have to put in...but alas...in the end I could not resist the ink!!!
If you Google Van Gogh's Blue Iris's...you can see the painting....I can't seem to copy/paste it for you here.
Vincent van GoghPost-Impressionist Grand Master Vincent Van Gogh’s “Irises, Saint Remy, 1889,” depicts the garden of the hospital where he spent the last months of his life. Suffering from depression for most of his life, Van Gogh (1853 – 1890) believed he could remain sane by painting and continued to do so while in Saint Remy. This work, the first he created while he was a patient, was influenced by the strong outlines, unusual angles and unconventional coloring of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints. Selling only one painting in his lifetime, Van Gogh’s “Irises, Saint-Remy” set a world record in 1987 when it sold for $49 million.
