106. After Paul Cezanne: Still Life with Peppermint Bottle, 1893-1895(?)


Still Life (after Paul Cezanne)

Hi Folks.  I hope you are enjoying the challenge. I decided to copy another Cezanne painting (above) and it was just as enjoyable. He worked with all those tones, colours, shapes and patterns yet still he achieved a harmonious image - genius! Just for fun, I exaggerated further the cubic shapes of the two bottles and quite like how they turned out. Also above is my random sketchbook drawing (above) which I did simply to get a feel for the shapes and flow of the design. The original painting by Paul Cezanne is below.

  1. When Art Makes Scents

    After Cezanne,
    after Veares,
    came peppermint
    nestled in hues,
    some warm in blues,
    art that smells fine.
