A few weeks ago I picked up a beautiful book on the early impressionists with many images of their works. I have been studying these pictures to glean whatever points that I can and have been wanting to try painting in the style of these masters using their techniques, but somehow blending it with a contemporary feel. When Jen of Rookie Painter featured an early morning bedroom scene with morning light coming through a large window. I decided to paint my picture from her photo, and following some paintings by these artists, especially Henri Matisse. This is the result - a blend of Victorian sensibility and figurative pose, with a cleaner, modern look. (You will not find it posted on the RP blog.)

Beautiful work. I love how you interpeted the original photo. That is art. Love it.
