I wanted to have this completed by Valentines Day but I was busy workingon commissions and just didn't have the time.I figured it is still Valentines week so Ifinally finished it.
I just can't get enough of Peter's brilliantcolors. I can tell by his brush strokes howfree he felt when he painted.
He did many paintings of hearts so I triedto combine his concept with mine and triedto see how many hearts I could get intoone composition...wala...my idea wasborn to make Peter my Valentine!
Can you count howhearts many there are?Enjoy!
Saint Valentine's Day, often simply Valentine's Day, is observed on February 14 each year. Today Valentine's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, mostly in the West, although it remains a working day in all of them.The original "St. Valentine" was just a lithurgical celebration of one or more early Christian saint named Valentinus. All the modern romantic connotations were added several centuries later by poets. Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that belonged to 14th February, and added to later martyologies. This celebration was deleted from the General Roman Calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI.The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucein the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of Courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lover dexpressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines").

SoldI went for a whole new perspective with this Art within Art Painting. Instead of a close up, or a section of a room I wanted to do the entire room. Making the windows really high makes the room look so grand which then of course I had to add the baby grand piano. A piano painted just for Monet.I especially like the way the crystal chandelier brightens the room and adds a jeweled affect to the composition.
Imagine a pianist sitting in this grand room overlooking playing beautiful music overlooking Monet'sJapanese foot bridge over the water lily pond in his garden of Giverny.Monet painted several paintings of this bridge on his property.Enjoy!

Claude Monet born Oscar Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926), was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plien-air landscape painting.
When Monet traveled to Paris to visit the Louvre, he witnessed painters copying from the old masters. Having brought his paints and other tools with him, he would instead go and sit by a window and paint what he saw Monet was in Paris for several years and met other young painters who would become friends and fellow impressionists; among them was Edouard Manet.

I thought I would have some fun and do another Big HatPainting. I love these and they have been popular.This one is really more all of my own and the only elementI used here was the man in the mirror that is my takeon her gentleman. He was perfect for the story.
I love the way he is looking at her while she isintently thinking weather to accept that ring or not.Do you think se will?
Enjoy!
Tamara de Lempicka (May 16, 1898 - March 18, 1980), born Maria Gorska in Warsaw, Poland, was a Polish Art Deco painter.Born into a wealthy and prominent family, her father was a Polish lawyer, her mother, the former Malvina Decler, a Polish socialite. Maria was the middle child with two siblings. She attended boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland, and spent the winter of 1911 with her grandmother in Italy and the French Riviera, where she was treated to her first taste of the Great Masters of Italian painting. In 1912, her parents divorced and Maria went to live with her wealthy Aunt Stefa in St. Petersberg, Russia.

I found a new painting by Diego Rivera thatincluded a similar beautiful woman to the one I havepainted here. I changed the face totally. I loved her gownand her holding the mirror so that is close to his.Diego is well know for painting Calla Lillie's so I thought that would be a nice touch.
I actually dreamed about the background for thisI like the dark dreaminess of the room and the birdsand vines lingering above. I think the chair took longerto paint than anything else with the candy cane cordingand the fringe and tassels. So much fun!Enjoy Reflections of Rivera.
Diego Rivera and his love Frieda Kahlo
Diego Rivera was born in Guanajuato, Mexico in 1886. He began to study painting at an early age and in 1907 moved to Europe. Spending most of the next fourteen years in Paris, Rivera encountered the works of such great masters as Cézanne, Gauguin, Renoir, and Matisse.
Considered the greatest Mexican painter of the twentieth century, Diego Rivera had a profound effect on the international art world. Among his many contributions, Rivera is credited with the reintroduction of fresco painting into modern art and architecture. His radical political views and tempestuous romance with the painter Frieda Kahlo were then, and remain today, a source of public intrigue. In a series of visits to America, from 1930 to 1940, Rivera brought his unique vision to public spaces and galleries, enlightening and inspiring artists and laymen alike.
Rivera remained a central force in the development of a national art in Mexico throughout his life. In 1957, at the age of seventy, Rivera died in Mexico City. Perhaps one his greatest legacies, however, was his impact on America’s conception of public art.
“An artist is above all a human being, profoundly human to the core. If the artist can’t feel everything that humanity feels, if the artist isn’t capable of loving until he forgets himself and sacrifices himself if necessary, if he won’t put down his magic brush and head the fight against the oppressor, then he isn’t a great artist.” - Diego Rivera
