110. After Paul Cezanne: The Blue Vase (1883-87)


(After Cezanne)
Unison Pastels on Clairefontaine Pastelmat, 8" x 8"

Hi Folks. Hope you are enjoying creating; I'm really impressed with all the artwork submitted to Leslie's challenge. I am also really grateful to you all for visiting my blog and leaving lovely comments - I find I'm thinking of you all when I'm painting/drawing and that's so inspiring - many thanks!

Today, I thought I'd go for something really lively. I'm constantly amazed that Cezanne was clever enough to create such busy paintings (in every sense) yet achieve such harmony! I've altered the colours slightly and also pushed together some of the elements; I hope I haven't gone too far! Have fun!
