Irises for Vincent SOLD

Irises for Vincent
acrylic on canvas 24x24

Another Van Gogh inspired painting - I had fresh Irises from Lilies White and set up the arrangement like Vincent's painting Still Life: Vase with Irises.  My vase was very similar and I decided to change the local colour of the table top to his delicious green.

The Church at Auvers - Vincent's Influence

The Church at Auvers - Vincent's Influence
acrylic on canvas 30x24
I was standing in front of this Church (where I'm sure Vincent Van Gogh stood many times) and took photos which I knew I would use for reference for a painting.  I was very awestruck to be in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise and take in all the history it has to offer.

I used photo reference for this painting after hearing so much about the Puslinch barn fire and the devastation the horse owners were dealing with.
