This incredible panel is from the collection at the Musée Des Arts Decoratif, in Paris. Wow!
Maybe some day I'll get a chance to paint something like this. The scale and proportion of each element is perfect; so hard to find these days. Here's an unfinished panel (below) that I started to paint. Unfortunately, unless there's someone waving a check at the finish line, I find it hard to spend the time to complete.

Alan, Is this your work?
ReplyDeleteOh! This is part of a larger group of panels that are hanging in the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. I have been fascinated by them for some time now. They are wonderful. There are even sister pieces in the decorative arts museum in Madrid. I was surprised when I saw them there in Spain.
ReplyDeleteAfter thinking about it: Unless Alan DID paint this one! I would not be surprised at all by that.
ReplyDeleteI'm flattered you guys think that I *could* have painted this one! I've been busy lately, so it's been hard finding time to publish posts. No text, just inspiring imagery! [Though I did update the post with the link to the Museum].
ReplyDeleteYeah, you are such a "dangle the carrot" kinda guy! LOL! I think you will finish it when your mind and soul are ready ...like right after you have been commissioned to copy some black velvet painting picked up on a jaunt to Mexico!
ReplyDeleteI was at a friend's house and they had a black velvet painting of Karl Rove! Never knew there was a market!
ReplyDeleteI was standing in front of these just 6 days ago. They are absolutely stunning in person.
