Oil Pastel
Title: Amsterdam Sky
Medium: Oil Pastel on Paper Board Size: 38.1 em. x 29.7 cm Completion: December 2nd, 2023 Exhibition Text: Amsterdam Sky is an oil pastel piece recreating a photograph I took in Amsterdam in March of 2023. This piece was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh and his appreciation for the changing colors of nature by using his impressionist technique. This painting includes small, repetitive lines to reflect motion in the sky and water, inspired directly by Starry Night and Starry Night Over The Rhone. Van Gogh's acknowledgement of motioned colors in the sky and body of water allowed me to reflect on the exquisite beauty of nature and how each element compliments each other through reflection. |
