Coffee with Manet?

The question came up recently on Facebook, “Who is your dream painter? Who would you like to have coffee with?“




This was my reply.

“Hmmm, whatever Leonardo had to say would go right over my head, Monet or Turner too annoyingly self opinionated and Michelangelo the same, Franz Marc would be off on a theory tangent, Vincent would have so much angst, Henry Moore my sculptor hero, Yes Sargeant but he’d be off hob knobbing, or ... It strikes me that the charming Edouard Manet would be most fun for coffee and French dainties in a little cafe I know near Notre Dame. But in truth a living artist like Kurt Jackson, David Hockney, Jeff Koons or even local star Robert Dow Reid would be most productive.”

Also, “Definitely not Frida, I’m working on a series and a large commission portrait of her, so I have coffee with her every day.”

In my usual manner I studied what others had replied..... Popular were the Impressionists, and other artists from the 19th Century, but I was pleased to see some old masters and even more pleased to see some from the 20th Century and the last 20 years. Even Bob Ross, got a mention, some say the Mr Rogers of art. 

Monet and Van Gogh are favorite choices in my classes. Artfinder are creating editorial collections of various masters so I’m working on adding my masterpiece studies to Artfinder in the hope they will be selected.

It’s interesting to see the growing list and even more interesting to see who didn’t get a mention.

Monet,

Dali,
Calder,
Hopper,
Degas,

Artist of the year

Have you seen the UK TV shows “Landscape Artist of the Year” and “Portrait Artist of the Year” on PBS? I LOVE them. Cant get enough of them. I have them recorded and whenever I’m feeling down they are my go to. Every time I watch I’m so inspired.

For a few weeks now I’ve been thinking about my fathers’ annual garden. In our parts we’ve passed through the (yellow flowers) season, the luscious (pink flowers) and now we have lilac. My father loved his lilacs, white, deep purple and light lilac. He also had a pagoda outside my bedroom window where he had carefully trained wisteria to drape. so I’ve been planning a wisteria painting in his honour and finally got around to it, right after watching one of the ‘Artist’ shows. It still needs a bit of tweaking, but I like the splashes of sunlight and the impression of movement in the blooms.

Impression of a Tree

IMPRESSIONIST TREE by Sea Dean after Claude Monet 22” x 28” Gallery Wrap

This is my attempt at a rather obscure study by Claude Monet.

At Art School we were instructed to learn from the masters by painting their work and it is truly the only way to understand their technique. As I was painting this I discovered more and more about what inspired Monet and how he made his paintings appear simple, but including so many colors. I think this must be a later work, because he used large brushes and painted rapidly. He seemed unconcerned about covering the entire canvas with paint. I discovered that painting fast was the only way to recreate this piece.

On show at Lake Country Coffee House until May 18th
The Coffee House has new owners and extended hours, so head out on the rail trail and take a detour to this great venue for a latte and lunch.

Monet (original below) has inspired so many artists. As I painted this, I ruminated that so many of the artists I admire paint in this indistinct way, Jackson Pollock being one. One could make an argument that Monet was the inspiration for the abstract movement, certainly zooming in on his work reveals pure abstract form.

My Sisters Garden - Bougainvillia

I originally wanted to make this a floral with a white background. I started with a very light pink, but quickly realised that some areas were quite dark. As I was painting this “Plein Air” on the patio with heavy rain falling, it was tough to imagine the sunshine.

I started to add some light washes to put the flowery branch into context, but as the paint dried it looked muddy, so I If Ted some and added more color so that it quickly became a whole impressionist garden.

I think I prefer this background to the busier one with the Heliconia.

Monet in Pourville - collage

I've been studying some of Claude Monets coastal works. I so admire the way Monet takes a simple scene and paints it over and over again depicting different light effects. This is a collage of his paintings looking left from the beach access pathway at Pourville (the blue one somehow flipped itself).

And these are his paintings looking right.

It's obvious that the sweeping view of the beach and headland to the left is the one that caught his attention. However, he did create a popular painting looking to the right. And just look what an amazing job Renoir does in the same location.

FAMOUS ARTIST BIRTHDAY - PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR - IMPRESSIONIST

I will probably be criticized for this, but Renoir is not one of my favourite painters. I can't quite put my finger on it, but his style seems a bit too sweet, perhaps reminiscent of the overly romantic Baroque style. Nonetheless, I did enjoy studying his style.

PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR

Born in Limoges, France, 25 February 1841

He was the son of poor tailor and at an early age he was sent to a porcelain factory to learn a trade. So he started work as a Limoges porcelain painter, and there may be Limoges plates or candy dishes out in the world that bear his brushwork.

As an artist, his early work was influenced by Gustav Courbet. He was freinds with Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley and Frederick Bazille and he even painted with Monet in Bougival in 1869. He exhibited alongside the Impressionists in 1874,1876, 1877 and 1882.

In 1870 Renoir became a Cuirassier in the Franco-Prussian War and perhaps that inspired a certain wander lust, because he painted in many locations including Bougival, Argenteuil, Cagnes, Algeria, and Italy. In 1888, he began spending his winters in the south of France.

HE EXHIBITED AT THE FIRST IMPRESSIONIST EXHIBITION

Died 3 December 1919 in Cagnes, France

FAMOUS ARTISTS BIRTHDAY - Edouard Vuillard, Post Impressionist

EDOUARD VUILLARD was born 11 November 1868 at Cuiseaux, Saone-et-Loire, France. In 1888 he attended the the Academie Julian where he socialized with many avant gard artists of the day including Pierre Bonnard who became a life long friend. He also became a member of the Nabi (click the link for a fascinating description of the ideals of the group).

Like many artists, he was proficient in many mediums and in 1899 produced a successful series of color lithographs called "Paysages et Interieurs".

Vuillard was a master of color with a fondness for yellow. Here you can see one of my favorite color combinations utilizing the complimentary pairing of deep yellow and violet. This painting also shows his quirky sense of composition, using a mirror to put the viewer into the position of a secret voyeur. Who can resist looking past the mantle to see what is happening in the room beyond.

Vuillard had a fairly long life and produced work well into his late 60's. The painting above was created when he was 67. He died on the summer solstice, 21 June 1940 at La Baule, France.

1842-47 - Attended school in Paris
1855 - Studied in Paris
1863 - Salon de Refusee artist with the Impressionists
1870 - Most of his 1500 works to that date were destroyed during the German invasion

Although he was a great influence on many of the Impressionists and those who went after, he is not as well known as Claude Monet. After his life's work was destroyed he moved away from Paris, while Monet stayed and continued to socialize in the right circles. Pissarro is best known for his landscapes with wonderful trees, and interesting light.

FAMOUS ARTISTS BIRTHDAY - MARY CASSATT - AMERICAN IMPRESSIONIST

MARY CASSATT

Mary Cassatt was born May 22, 1844 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She had French ancestry, so after studying at the Pennsylvania Academy, she moved to France and studied with the Parisian masters. In 1868 her work was accepted at the Salon in Paris under her pseudonym Mary Stevenson.

Mary Cassatt was a rare female artist and gave a feminine view on the subject of motherhood and family. Most young women were schooled in drawing and water colours, but gave it up when they married to manage the household. Marys parents objected to her becoming both an artist and "bohemian" but she ignored their wishes.

On the outbreak of the Franco/Prussian war, she was forced to return to her parents home, but her father refused to pay for anything related to her art. She tried to sell her paintings in New York and Chicago where most of her work was destroyed in a fire. She earned the money to return to France with a commission from the Archbishop of Pennsylvania. She was accepted in the Paris Salon of 1872, 1873 and 1874.

Mary Cassat admired Degas and eventually they became friends. He introduced her to the Impressionists and she exhibited with them In 1879, 1880, 1881, 1886. The break in 1881 was caused by having to return home and set aside her art to care for her mother and sister. She later developed a style that was influenced by the popular Japanese prints of the day.

In 1912 her eyesight began to fail and she turned her attention to encouraging young female artists. She died at Chateau Beaufresne, Beauvais, France 19 June 1926.

I suspect that the work in my catalogue most like Mary Cassat is the one below.  It is a small painting with great charm. The original is now sold and available in print.

BLOWING IN THE WIND by Sea Dean - 4" x 8" matted

BEE HAPPY

 

BEE HAPPY

8" x 10" Cradle Board

This is my submission for the Friends of the Earth BEE CAUSE campaign in conjunction with Artfinder and the Great British Bee Count. To read more about the campaign and/or make your own submission, click here.

Bee Happy in Progress

This was one of those paintings that sat for a while half finished. I was aware of the deadline looming, but I wasn't happy with the sky or the flowers which was pretty much the whole painting. I finally decided that an impressionist style would evoke summer breeze and busy bees humming their way from flower to flower. The painting is enhanced with a brushstroke effect to add texture.

UPDATE 
I'm happy to say that BEE HAPPY has been included in the BEE collection at Artfinder. That means it has passed the first hurdle for inclusion in the GREAT BRITISH BEE COUNT exhibition to take place in London, England. The odds are fairly good with only 300 paintings up for consideration.  That means that if you want to purchase the painting I will reserve it for you, but it won't be available until after the selection process and/or the exhibition have concluded on June 30th.

WIND IN THE WILLOW ACEO by Sea Dean

Another reminder that spring is on the way. I used to live in a condo that overlooked a park and in the winter it could be bleak with snow and bare trees. The good thing about winter was that when the trees were bare, I got a better view of the lake. In spring one of the first to leaf out were the willow trees, fed by the spring run off and ready for the touch of sun. Willows have a unique yellow/green shade when they first get shoots and that is what inspired this painting.

My thoughts turn to the Impressionists when the weather starts to improve. I think it must be because they were the pioneers of "Plein Air" painting and as soon as the sun shone they headed to the countryside en mass. In summer they would visit the coast or promenade by the Seine, but in spring they all wanted to record the verdant sap green in the payesage.

This is an impressionist style painting reminiscent of lowland countryside. It could be in the Netherlands or France, or many other semi marsh areas. This is a pretty painting with lovely shades of green and a wide open sky. A lovely reminder that spring is on it's way.

I think it's a good time to start thinking of spring. I know it's not quite time yet, but with Easter being early this year, my thoughts are already turning to lazy days walking the tide line.

Spring is a great time to go beach combing with a warm jacket and a flask of tea. Now is the time you may find a glass fishing float or some other interesting flotsam or jetsam. Have you ever found anything interesting in your beach walks? I'd love to hear about it.

ALL TIME MOST POPULAR BLOGS - CLAUDE MONET - IMPRESSIONIST

CLAUDE MONET

Woman with a Parasol, (Camille and Jean Monet), 1875,
National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.

Study of a Figure Outdoors: Woman with a Parasol, facing left, 1886.
The pictured woman is Suzanne Hoschedé (c. 1864–1899),
 second wife of Claude Monet, Musée d'Orsay.

Claude Oscar Monet was born 14 November 1840 in Paris.

Monet's father was a Grocer, so one would think that his early subjects would be groups of grocery items, but he loved the outdoors and his early paintings often focused on water. Although born in Paris, he was raised in Le Havre. There he was heavily influenced by Boudin who painted dreamy seaside scenes. Later Claude was to have a special boat built where he could paint under cover yet still "plein air". Monet painted scenes in Le Havre, Paris, Giverny, London UK, Holland, and Belgium.

Claude Monet is the most famous Impressionist. He was involved in organizing the Impressionist exhibitions and his painting "Impression Sunrise" was exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition and bore the name by which the group would become known.The early impressionists mainly lived in the vicinity of Paris and often shared work space. Monet worked with most of them, as well as pre-impressionists Boudin, Manet and Renoir.

In 1923 His eyesight started to fail and he underwent cataract surgery. His paintings grew larger and the colours more complex and subdued as his eyesight worsened. The majority of his later works were inspired by his beautiful garden at Giverny near Paris. On 5 December 1926 he passed away to the home he loved in Giverny.

How do you choose just one Claude Monet painting? Any one you pick is a masterpiece. I chose the top one because I saw two of the series when I was in Paris and they were phenomenal. What really struck me was not the famous rendition of light, but the treatment of the grass. The paintings in the Musee d'Orsay are large and hang high so the grass is at eye level for all but the very tall.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Claude Monet invented the concept of painting in series, a technique used widely by daily painters today. When I work in series, I find that the first is looser and later works are more detailed as I gain understanding of the  subject matter. (see my Summer Boy series at Daily Paintworks)

SAILING WITH MONET by Sea Dean

The other interesting thing about the upper and lower renditions of a female with a parasol is that they depict Monet's first and second wives and I think show the difference in his feelings towards his two loves.

GIVERNY 1900 INSPIRED BY MONET by Sea Dean

This is one of the most famous paintings of all time. It  gave it's name to one of the most important art movements influencing artists today. That strange green/ blue/ grey colour is a signature of Monet's later works and can be seen in his water lily series as well as many other floral works.

1000 th BLOG - FAMOUS ARTISTS BIRTHDAY - JEAN-FREDERIC BAZILLE

1000 THE BLOG

Well yes, I knew it was coming, I knew it was before the end of the year, but then it slipped my mind in the middle of the holiday rush. Nevertheless, this is my 1000th blog.

It's been quite a journey, and I'm pleased I took it. In a lot of ways this blog is what has kept me going during the last three years. It has kept me on track producing new work. It has made me stretch my limited knowledge of html, imaging etc. It has introduced me to new friends and it has been a blast.

Thank you to you, my loyal readers. Without you this blog would be just a diary. So, here's to another 1000!

JEAN-FREDERIC BAZILLE

Born Montpellier, France 6 December 1841, making him one of the older members of the French Impressionist movement. He studied under Charles Gleyre with Monet, Sisley and Renoir and his main influences were Manet and Courbet. Naturally he frequented the Cafe Guerbois where Manet held his gatherings for artists.

Bazille's name crops up often when studying the French Impressionists. It's not that he was one of the most highly appreciated artists of the group, but he seems like a very obliging member, often posing for his friends when they couldn't afford a model. In 1865 he famously modeled for Monet's "Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe" and in 1870 for Fantin-Latour's "The Studio at Batignolles". Sadly he was killed in action 28 Nov 1870 during the Franco-Prussian war.

Because he died before the first impressionist exhibition, Bazille was not associated as an artist with the group. Up until his early death aged 28, he had been quite prolific, but probably due to his young age, he had not yet developed a congruent style. His paintings range from nudes to florals, still life's, landscapes and portraits. It's difficult to guess how he would have developed as a painter, but it seems that most of his later works involved figures. The languorous nude below shows a great deal of skill although still following the romantic traditions of Courbet.

FAMOUS ARTIST BIRTHDAY - EMILE ALBERT GRUPPE

AFTERNOON BIRCHES - Emile Gruppe

EMILE ALBERT GRUPPE 

Emile was an American painter born 23 November 1896 in Rochester, New York. His whole family was involved in artistic pursuits. As a child, he lived in the Netherlands where his father Charles Paul Gruppe, was a dealer for Dutch painters in the US and was part of the Hague school. The family returned to the US permanently in 1913 to avoid The Great War.

Gruppe spent a year in the United States Navy in 1917 and on his return, he set up a permanent studio in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he became a member of the Cape Ann school of artists. Gruppe also studied at the National Academy in New York City and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris.

Although Gruppe is best known for his impressionistic landscapes, he also painted portraits. His style was largely inherited from Claude Monet. Gruppe's paintings are often seen in major auction galleries, such as Sotheby's, Christies, and Skinners and prices are some of the best reached by the Rockport School. He taught many well known artists including Otis Cook, Bill Wray and Nathalie Nordstrand.

The painting I chose above certainly echoes the sensitive treatment of trees by such Impressionists as Pissarro and Monet. His colours, though bold, are carefully softened by mixing in complimentary colours and the variation in his brushwork is superb.

I was introduced to Emile by Marion Hedger, a fabulous oil painter living in Provence. Thank you Marion.

LADY IN RED - Emile Gruppe

 In searching for a painting with similar trees I rediscovered this lovely little vignette MINI MASTER from last year. This was painted in honour of Arthur Lismer. I have framed many of this series in wide frames and they look spectacular.

FAMOUS ARTISTS BIRTHDAYS - PAUL SIGNAC

Today we celebrate the birth of Paul Signac, who was born in Paris 11 November 1863. He followed a course of training in architecture, but in 1881, after attending an exhibit of Claude Monet's work, he turned to painting.

ROAD TO GENNEVILLIERS 1883, Musée d'Orsay, Paris

Few changes in style can be as obvious as that of Paul Signac as displayed in these two paintings. In "Road to Gennevilliers", painted in 1883, Signac shows a tendency towards impressionist treatment of colour and an obvious fascination for brushwork, but by 1886 in "Comblat le Chateau, Le Pre" he has plunged deeply into Pointillism.

COMBLAT LE CHATEAU, LE PRE, 1886, Dallas Museum of Art

The change came about when In 1884 he met Georges Seurat and was struck by his systematic working methods and colour theory Signac became Seurat's faithful follower, friend and penned scholarly descriptions of Neo-Impressionism and Divisionism. He abandoned Impressionism and short brushstrokes to experiment with scientifically juxtaposed small dots of pure color, intended to combine and blend not on the canvas but in the viewer's eye, the defining feature of Pointillism.

I've had my moments with pointillism and in some of my paintings I still tend towards the style, as in my recent pet portrait "Pepsi Cola". It's a radical theory and a difficult practice. It's a great personal achievement when you know you've got it right.

If you want to give it a go, it's important to paint standing up at an easel and have plenty of room to step back. Actually, it's great exercise because you will walk miles in the course of completing even a small painting.

Although he was an impressionist, some of the most awesome paintings I've seen were created by Claude Monet with minute dots and dabs of thick paint, sometimes forming troughs half a centimeter deep as he went back time and time again to modify. This can be seen in his "Haystacks" series. His tiny marks are barely visible in print, but are awe inspiring when seen closeup.

Pointillism took it much further, making the dots part of the design. In pointillism the dots are bold and available for everyone to see.

FAMOUS ARTISTS BIRTHDAY - PIERRE BONNARD

CLICK FOR SLIDESHOW

PIERRE BONNARD
Born 13 October 1867 at Fontenay-aux-Roses, France

He initially studied law, but in 1888 enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Academie with Julian with Maurice Denis, Paul Serusier, Paul Ranson and Edouard Vuillard. A member of the Nabis and influenced by Gaugin and later Monet.

1912 lived in Vernon near Giverny, France
1925 lived in Le Cannet near Cannes, France
23 January 1947 Died in Le Cannet, France

THE WINDOW by Pierre Bonnard 1925

When I think of the name Bonnard I instantly think of his nudes. However, his body of work seems cover a cross section of subjects from figure to landscape, to still life and beyond. He also played with colour. The painting above seems largely influenced by the colours of Monet, but his palettes are many and varied. Click through to the slide show to see how varied his work could be.

Overall, I would say Bonnard was an artist that liked to experiment, being excited by all the new ideas that surrounded him. His use of colour was largely impressionistic, as was his brushwork, but there is something beyond that. He tests perspective and form, showing flashes of Matisse and Gaugin in his figures. The painting above would be a very nice take on a landscape, but then he has added a rather primitive figure looking over the balcony which makes one question if this is a work by a great painter, or by a novice. Closer examination of the composition shows it's mastery.

ITALIAN HOLIDAY
by Sea Dean
8" x 6"



Thinking of my work this painting comes to mind, with the simply painted tourist making her way through streets heavy on perspective.

I love revisiting my paintings from a few seasons ago. Sometimes I have dismissed them because they are not in my regular genre, but that doesn't mean they are inferior.

In this painting I enjoy the warm colours which remind me of times I've played tourist in strange cities off the beaten track. I like the story this painting tells, shutters closed against the strong afternoon sun and the flower boxes eking out a tiny bit of territory in the big city And what is around that corner in the background, a busy shopping district, a fabulous cathedral, or a city park? Where is the traveler heading? Is she lost or taking a short cut? Is it you or a friend? You have the power to write that story.

Thanks to Leslie Saeta for providing the original photo for the painting.
