A Golden Pot Of Impressionist Flowers.

[Ern007]

Hi,

I was going to post another 'Halloween' painting, but decided another day.

I don't normally paint flowers but a couple of years ago I painted a few semi abstract but nice colored flowers.

I thought I would post this pot of impressionistic flowers as this was the only one of it's kind I did.

It is pure impressionism. The pot was painted 80% in metallic gold paint, I added a bit of yellow to tone down the gold a bit.

I know this type of painting not everyone likes, I though it would be a change.

[slram]

This is my favorite so far. Do you ever sell any?

[Ern007 in reply to slram]

Thank you for your comments . Not really possible when retired along with cost. I do give it away sometimes,

I love this Ern and love the simplicity of it on the easel xxx

[Ern007 in reply to Patk1]

Thank you I was unsure about the easel.xx

What a great way to start the day, seeing your painting of a cheerful pot of flowers! Thank you for sharing this one, Ern 😊I particularly like the addition of the Gypsophila in the background x

[Ern007 in reply to Threecats]

Thank you Threecats -Gypsophila really does lend itself to this type of painting.. x

Lovely Ern, my favourite yet x

[Ern007 in reply to CDPO16]

Thank you Carole . I wondered about this type of painting x

My mum loved gypsopyllia as she called it and always stuck a bit in her vases. We had to be careful where cricket balls ended up. Some plants were sacred; others less so. Your painting is really cheerful. You are following in the footsteps of Van Gogh and a lot of clever Dutchmen. xxx

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

Thank you - Van Gogh was the artist for me - He rally made a painting talk , Vincent Van Gogh Wheat Field with Cypresses was my fav painting.

[Alberta56 in reply to Ern007]

Is that the one with the crows? Love that too and also the starry nights ones.

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

Wheat field with crows is very dramatic - Yes his sky's were special, his brush strokes was unique. Wheat Field with Cypresses had conifer type trees. The Church at Auvers showed another side of Van Gogh.

[Alberta56 in reply to Ern007]

You obviously know VvG better than I do. My first encounter with him was as a child in the Tate Gallery, wondering why anyone should want to paint a yellow chair.

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

I am no expert on Van Gogh - i watched a brilliant series on BBC1 about the life of Van Gogh when i was in my 20s - The yellow Wicker Chair, I guess only he would have painted that and nothing else.

[Alberta56 in reply to Ern007]

I love the yellow chair now.

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

There is a lot to that painting - "Nothing else" was wrong - The red tiles blue walls brings the chair to life. Which is your favorite RVG painting?

[Alberta56 in reply to Ern007]

Not sure. starry night, I think.

[Ern007 in reply to Alberta56]

That would be a great choice - So would the Wheat field, hard to choose.

An uplifting cheerful painting - thank you Ern 🙂. Not entirely sure what impressionist art is but it's lovely anyway 👍(Guessing it means 'looks like the real thing' but I'll look it up 🙂) xxx

[Ern007 in reply to Nula2]

Thank you . xx With me the flowers come out of my head, therefore an impression.

[Nula2 in reply to Ern007]

Ah I see. 😊xxx

I love the gypsophila cascading among the other flowers, such depth in the painting.
