This picture probably needs an introduction.
________________________________________________
I named this (quite rightly) "Inspired by Claude Monet"
I realised I had named "Inspired by Claude Monet" so that does not mean copy but work is inspired by Monet who was 'an Impressionist. and and 'Oil Painter' I am no copier and that defeats being a painter,
I realised Monet painted this outside of Paris - Argenteuil to be exact in 1875.
I painted what I was able with acrylic also I use more colour - I had the house, the trees, the poppies and a girl. Thant's a lot of inspiration. French county roads are so France.
So I added a Lane which reminded me of a movie - filmed in France, "And soon the darkness" and I thought that would make the road ok
I used red and orange on the 'poppies; - The roads changes the lie of the land a bit, but hey just "Inspired by Monet"
Finally the girl - I am not a painter of people ordinarily but this was an impression of an inpression and I painted a girl standing up. I did not want to give her a straight daggy dress, so I allowed her a bit of curve.
So that's the into over and the painting is named. Monets Poppy Field. Inspired by Monet.
