Spying Mentors' Work

Medium - Oil, Size - 30X40 inches, Date - 9-18-24 I am drawn to the Painterly, Impressionist, and Expressionist art styles because they are not rigidly realistic. Studying these styles inspires me to use color, strokes, and textures in new ways in my pieces. In this work, by directly observing a photo I took of myself in my home studio, I am "spying on" the art pieces of four mentors: Van Gogh, Cezanne, Wentz, and Sanchez.
