Happy Monday to you all! The Autumnal season is started and here the sky is full of clouds. The weather is still warm, but I love to breath a bit of fresh air in the night after a very toasty time. ^_^
Yesterday I finished to read an interesting book about Johanna van Gogh-Bonger who was the sister in law of the famous painter Vincent Van Gogh (she was the wife of his father Theo). Johanna had a very important role in the growth of the fame of the painter and in the book I read there are part of her diary and part of the letter Vincent sent to her brother. I think everyone know about the works and the life of Vincent Van Gogh, but it was really interesting to know more about this woman who was a very strong woman! You can read more about Johanna here.
Inspired by all the words I read about the art of Van Gogh and about the colors he used in his paintings, I decided to paint something new using the cobalt blue:
I didn't want to be inspired by the subjects or the way to paint of Van Gogh, I just wanted to try the power of the cobalt color and so I painted one of my Ladies using that color as background.
I took some pics during the process to share with you:
I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
