Mostly, I like round bases and I'd have ended up with a bunch of floor space to fill.<br /><br />Unfortunately I have no display cabinet space for large pieces right now... And no budget/space for more cabinets.

TBH I can picture both pieces up into one of those wooden cubes forming a mini diorama, scenic base or whatever it's called.<br /><br />Recreating his room is something too succulent to pass...javihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242836231493748919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11971136.post-75360048691762726332020-05-23T21:05:09.111-05:002020-05-23T21:05:09.111-05:00Amazing work on your part.

When I saw the work on the easel, my eyes bugged out about 3 inches.<br />I was in Amsterdam a few years ago and visited the Van Gogh museum. It's overwhelming when you see so many of his works all at once. matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11971136.post-10453660021046648432020-05-22T18:29:01.251-05:002020-05-22T18:29:01.251-05:00I'm happy that this evoked some emotional resp...I'm happy that this evoked some emotional response from everyone... It was a very special piece for me to paint. I'm glad you feel it all came together; I tried to do little things like match the colours on his palette with what he was painting. I think that even if a paint job isn't technically perfect (and mine never are) it's details like that give a figure its own identity.Allison M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362700513221195102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11971136.post-77121861558816239822020-05-22T18:13:38.682-05:002020-05-22T18:13:38.682-05:00Wow, what an opportunity!

Well, of course in replicating the sunflowers painting, that's so out of discussion; it's pure magic. But doing that palette and those stains on the clothes... seriously, getting the right point for them to look natural is not an easy thing.<br />Superb work<br />(And extra points for the Doctor!

About 20 years, when they were re-doing the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, they brought a large collection of his work over for a couple of exhibits in the States. I drove from the midwest to DC to see it and I still think about that show to this day. It was a truly moving experience. I love what you did with the mini and the recreation of his painting at this scale. xredmenacexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563256821189993925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11971136.post-5509328474547590382020-05-20T11:18:08.849-05:002020-05-20T11:18:08.849-05:00Very well done!

The Impressionists please me. Surrealism, especially Dali, largely leaves me cold. Except Picasso's surrealism. I love the luxurious beauty of Art Nouveau and Art Deco (Tamara de Lempicka? Wowza!)... but I also like stuff like the grotesquerie of Otto Dix, and the bleak carnal characters of Toulouse-Lautrec.<br /><br />Glad you like the Doctor pic. It's impossible to be a modern nerd and not think of VVG in that context :)Allison M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362700513221195102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11971136.post-29115551589853682522020-05-20T08:17:17.636-05:002020-05-20T08:17:17.636-05:00Now I think of it, that mini would do a great dior...Now I think of it, that mini would do a great diorama.

Then I dive into the post and found that ginger earless dude.<br /><br />Not really a fan of him, there's other people I related over like Magritte or Mucha, yet I have to say his life is the epitome of what people doing artsy stuff should learn from: people do their things then compare to social media porn and go downward the spiral. This dude was it's time underdog yet nowadays it's study material.<br /><br />Bottom line is, if you can't get money out of what you like doing, at least enjoy it. No matter what, sooner or later someone might like it.<br /><br />Last picture is pure magic.
