Today's puzzle is an impressionist style painting created by Emma when she just under 7 years old and it's one of my favorites. The view is of Belfast Lough, sketched, then painted while looking out of the window from her mum's 2nd floor office window. I always encourage Emma to take liberties while painting...after all, it is her painting and her imagination, so it can be anything she wants it to be, right? In this painting, I particularly love how she chose to include the train, but made it a shade of blue, so that it didn't detract from the sea she had so carefully painted. It was just such a well-thought out, mature creative decision and I think a very good one too! I wish I had taken a reference photo, so you could see her subject matter in real life. You can see more of Emma's work on my flickr.
Enjoy!
Emma, these are GORGEOUS colours, lines and composition, and anyone would be pleased to have this hanging in their home. You're a gifted young artist, and I certainly hope you keep up the fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteLove all these colors. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the Mixed Media Flower [http://www.flickr.com/photos/jolieart/3938853348/in/set-72157622294902043/]on flickr. I'm even thinking of using it as wallpaper. Well done Emma!
ReplyDeleteOMG... that's gorgeous! Very Van Gogh style. She's how old?!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed doing your puzzle and thought how lovely the painting was as I spent time putting it back together. My time is not one to put over the loud speaker...8+minutes!!
ReplyDeleteI hope Emma never stops painting! It's clear how much she has progressed, and I'd love to see her work in about 10 years time. I love this one and the painting of the girl which looks like it was inspired by Jolie's girls :)
