Mini Monet: The Summer Poppy Field






My first decently sized painting (11x14).  Still working on technique; I need to learn how to use larger brush strokes to get the effect I'm really looking for.  A picture taken during the process shows how it evolved as I worked on it.  Original painting here.

Mini Monet: The Japanese Bridge

My acrylic 5x7 version of The Japanese Bridge, 1899.  Original painting here.  Tried to do the bridge free-hand, which was a mistake; definitely using a pencil on a string next time to get a decent curve.  Moving into slightly larger but still mini canvasses.

Mini Monet: Fields of Tulips With The Rijnsburg Windmill



Tulips and windmills.  The color really got away from me for this one; turned into an Easter egg. Photo is edited to make it appear more real to the in-person appearance because I haven't been able to get a good photo yet

Mini Monet: A Corner of the Garden at Montgeron

Painted on a 4x4 tiny mat board. 

Mini Monet: Monet's Garden at Argenteuil



 A scan (left) and photo (right) of my extremely small version of Monet's Garden at Argenteuil.  The scan brings out some brighter color, but the photo keeps all the nice paint brush lines which I enjoy.  A good lesson for me in the subtleties of making a digital version of a painting.  Also it turns out that 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 inch square is not a standard frame size..oops.
The actual painting is here
