    Instantly recognisable, very nicely done! You certainly do have ability! :)

  • Donna Huntriss replied

    Thanks Fesseldreg! He was for an art competition and was completed in about two days. It was nice to get back to freehand and a bit “loose” drawing.

    I can see why this won an award- amazing work Donna, one of the best renderings I have seen on Mr Gogh xx

  • Donna Huntriss replied

    Thank Anita! I was lucky enough to have won AND sell the original on the day so it was worthwhile entering! I had a lot of fun with the embossing too.

    Thanks Den’! I would like to do some more of the same ( a different take on an artist’s own work), but the garden is pre-occcupying me at the moment.

    This is the man who’s work has forever captivated my heart and for whom I wept tears remembering that critics thought his work was awful when in fact he was a genius! I LOVE how his paintings make me feel. His work is spiritual and freeing!

    What a BEAUTIFUL tribute you rendered Donna. Wonderful!

  • Donna Huntriss replied

    Thanks so very much! I am touched as a fellow artist who also dabbles in the impressionists (but not as dedicated as you are!).
