Feeling colour
A few days ago I shared in my post The Wood of Love a painting with you that was inspired by the Bois d'Amour in Pont-Aven, Brittany.
Something else inspired me whilst I was stood in the Bois d'Amour, and that was the words of the artist Paul Gauguin.
According to the artist Maurice Denis, Gauguin had told Séruzier : "How do you see these trees? They are yellow. So, put in yellow; this shadow, rather blue, paint it with pure ultramarine; these red leaves? Put in vermilion".
Gauguin had given the painter Séruzier a lesson when stood in Bois d'Amour. Looking at the effects of light in that same landscape I started to really feel the meaning behind those words.
I began my own experiments with colour and line
To me the forest floor felt like it was glowing a vibrant red of rusted leaves and earth. The shadows of the undergrowth felt blue against the yellow pouring through the canopy of the leaves.
I admire your work dear friend @ opheliafu, full of creativity and magic, you are encrusted very good inspirations in nature, many thanks for this beautiful gift to begin the week
I wish you an excellent day

Yes @opheliafu
I love paintings and appreciate the art
It takes lot of patience and determination to complete one single painting ,
I've seen my sister painting and she takes more than 7-8 non-stops hours to complete one.

You feel so good color!!! Looking at Your work, I did not have "cacophony".
I don't usually like bright colors. But here there was no dissonance, and the "ripples" in the eyes. Amazing=)
