Whimsical Impressionistic Windows, Part 2

A window is only but a  partial glimpse of what is inside...

I love all the movement 

I have always been a fan of Van Gogh.  What was going thru his mind when he created all that movement.  Maybe he was running a marathon in his brain.  

ON the water, my dream 

Oh, how I wish I had a place on the water with a window like this that opened up to a vast body of water.  In my dream, there is no land, only 1850s sailboats.  JUST kidding. 

I love all the bright colors, there are some bright oranges mixed in to this painting that make your eye travel around the piece.  

Same house, different window

This painting has the same basic view as the one above it.  I love the golden drape with the crown over the window.  I would not want to price a drape like this, very costly.  I might not paint my window red, either, but it's good for a painting.

My other house is in town, downtown Paris 

LOVE the colors on this one, too.  These may be challenging to frame... I am thinking of buying some old frames that are beat up and aged with antique glass and painting them Paris Green.  

Other favorite past time...eating 

Ok, just imagine having a bakery like this down the street.  If you live in the country, you will want to buy this print.  You can live the life thru the artwork on your walls.  Hopefully, your art makes you feel happy.  That is my goal.  

Here are the four of them.  Please look at my post Whimsical Impressionistic Windows, Part 1 to see the other paintings from this series.  I have two more to go... 

Enjoy!

Whimsical Impressionistic Windows

Windows are little openings into our lives, 

They let light in and let life out...

My inspiration painting 

Years ago, I purchased a book on the country of France.  I have always been fascinated with all things 'Paris.'  I even had the opportunity to visit this wonderful country about 12 years ago, we stayed in the city of PARIS.  It was one of the highlights of my life.  I really loved it.  I loved the museums and the eating and the architecture.  It was all perfect.  

Today, I am giving you a glimpse into my studio and showing you what I have been working on for a while.  I actually have 12-14 of these all penned out on paper and am now beginning the process of adding color.  I wanted my windows to be done in a "VanGogh" style.

Vincent VanGogh 

I love all the movement in his work.  I know that he had sort of a magic that nobody can ever duplicate perfectly, but I had fun trying.  This man could paint anything in in any genre.  I fully think that he could paint picture realistic, if he chose to.  His work, to me, looks fictional but I believe that it is far from it.  I believe that everything he painted was 'there' and in fact was painted from life.  He had the ability to see movement in all that he painted.    This I love.  

These caught my eye, too.  The windows are solid and dark but it makes me wonder...WHAT IS GOING ON
BEHIND that glass??  

These were also taken into consideration when I started to pen my paintings.  As of today, I have 4 completed.  

I think these would look lovely in any room of your home.  I think I will sell the originals and place them in frames
that are painted with  Amy Howard MILK paint.  

I know that pink is a color that some people can't do, but I happen to love pink because I love and have a lot of grey in my home.  This color just naturally goes well with grey.  Here's a few closeups of the above. 

There is a lot of movement in this painting.  It is free and fun and not exact.  I love the whimsical
look of it and think it happens to be a windy day! 

HAPPY is having a house on the water...  This was a phrase that I read on the internet.  I think it's true, smile.

This was actually a real window from a book, the building was located in Montmartre. 

I love to eat.  I also love to walk to a good bakery, especially when on vacation.  I love the bakery in Chesterton, MD

This picture makes your mind wonder, is this a lobby in a hotel?  A bed and breakfast? Why is there
a book at the window.  Am I supposed to sign in?  There is a level of mystery, and I like this. 

I think the grey is beautiful and compliments all colors.  My whole house is some form of grey.  I really like the splash of red.  

Thanks for taking the time to look at my artwork!  

ENJOY!
