Quandary, Oil on Canvas, 20×24, 2020

Mashing up styles again…or trying them on? You can probably guess who’s style I’m stealing here–van Gogh! Especially the movement. I’ve always enjoyed the motion conveyed in Vincent van Gogh’s paintings. Definitely boosted and altered the colors as well. Used a reference photo I took hiking Quandary mountain in Colorado–I did not “use” the sky though, because it was moving enough for my style experiment.
