My digital painting inspired by Claude Monet's "Water Lily Pond, Green Harmony." The Monet is currently on loan from the Musee d'Orsay (Paris) and on display at the Detroit Institute of Art through this Sunday. My piece was done on an iPad using ArtRage and a Sensu Brush & Stylus.
I occupied the bench in front of this painting for about 90 minutes. First I listened to people's reactions - they were talking about the painting's place in history (I heard a great variety of stories!) and taking selfies (non flash photos were allowed in the darkened space). Whenever the gallery emptied, I had a quiet conversation with the piece - from across the room and from within inches. Eventually I pulled out my iPad and began sketching. It was cathartic and enlightening.

I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po
