Artists with influence – Gauguin

Reading blogs…always sets my mind rumbling along in the labyrinth of my brain…..often discovering or rediscovering images…concepts or random jumbles lying about or neatly stacked or boxed….

CYNDI of LAYERS UPON LAYERS blog post on artists swung open a box of memories of a journey to The Netherlands, a study in highschool and some almost forgotten experiments…….

The setup was to create a paraphrase to a known painting….make it my own…..and as I earlier that year had made a bibliographic essay on the subject of Gaugain…..I choose him.

His influence on me is the clean lines he most often uses……and I am drawn to the expressive use of colors….
