Vincent Study 3



Here is another small study inspired by Van Gogh's work. He had these really bright suns in some of his hay field paintings even though the scenes were kind of overcast or even twilight probably because he painted all day and conditions changed, and he made modifications afterwards to the paintings. I exaggerated the sun quite a bit here making it fill the entire sky- it looks more like a fluorescent ball of yarn than a sun. The pine tree is a Canadian thing but it was meant to represent the cypress trees he put in the paintings. And the hay field, well that is just a hay field.

On the B side was another abstract, I called it 'Walks Around the Blocks'.
