However, when I do have a day off, and am feeling inspired, It's always fun to throw myself into it and see what I can do.
Yesterday, inspired by Shanti Marie's Tribute to Monet, I decided to do an artist tribute as well.
After a quick flick through one of my Van Gogh books, I found a painting I liked, Plain of La Crau.
Since it's just an exercise, I decided to use a canvas sheet rather than a stretched canvas. I also thought for the fun of it, I'd take pictures along the way. :-)
Also, as I was going to try to get this done in a day, I simplified his painting a lot, rearranging to make it a little easier on myself.
The finished result.
I certainly don't think it's anything special, and I don't think my composition is the greatest, but it was fun, and I am looking forward to doing another. :-)

This is beautiful! (And I read your last post and I love your sweet kitty and that painting). They are both precious! : )
Thanks Julie. :-)
You did a great job!!!
BTW I'm so jealous of anyone that can do a painting a day.
Thanks Amariah. And I know - imagine having the time to do that! I console myself with thinking when the kids are grown and left home there will be more time. For painting classes even! :-)
Thanks a million for your comment in my blog! You made me so happy!!
I had a quick look to your art and that's amazing, really amazing!!!
