Favorite Painings
My favorite Impressionist artists are: Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Edgar Degas. Below are some of my favorite paintings from each of these artists. Each artists uses color in a wonderful way and have incredible brush strokes that give life to the painting. After taking a painting class last year, I painted van Gogh's "Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers" (original below). I love the bright colors of the flowers and the thick paint gives the painting a lot of texture. I'd love to hear which Impressionism artists and/or paintings are your favorite!

I love Degas' rehearsal paintings! The National Gallery has the wax and wire form he used to create "Little Dancer"- it has real hair and a muslin skirt. It's beautiful!
