Description

An art deco impressionist fusion, this is the first of a three-part set (more to come!) inspired by a recent trip to Paris with my wife. We saw some breathtaking art while we were there from an incredible range of painters and sculptors. I was enamored. The entire city is a canvas.

This first go pays homage to and borrows from a few things. The varied textured layers were inspired by this children’s book  we saw one day at a book store along the Canal Saint-Martin. The overall look is an interpretive take on this  deco piece I came across awhile back. I also got to see a ton of Van Gogh’s works along with other impressionists at the Musée d’Orsay to which the title and two of this project’s most defining swatches pay homage. Ron’s hair is comprised of brush strokes from Van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with Straw Hat.  Kim’s dress represents his Starry Night Over the Rhône . Apparently, “Starry Night” is a common title for many works. Aside from Van Gogh’s most well known Starry Night , I saw at least two other pieces by the same name that other artists had created displayed in d’Orsay that same day, hence my title, “Another Starry Night”.

Anywho, this was quite fun to do and I hope you enjoy. Cheers!

Not a problem. It's a different style, yet it still feels the same.

I'm glad you dig the styling. That's definitely no coincidence that it somehow feels the same.   When I was admiring the cover of the children's book I mentioned, I realized it reminded me a bit of the retro-modernistic background artwork from KP - often textured yet simple - except those textures also were applied to the book's characters as well. So I applied those concepts to Kim and Ron with a dash of deco and a little impressionism and BOOYAH!

You're welcome. It's a cool artstyle and you drew these two characters very well. I especially like the inspirations you took from your vacation.

It's like they are almost transported back in time!

Very romantic work, by the way!

Now that you mention it, I can totally picture this to a slow, old jazz tune, etc. Specifically, the lobby queue music from Tower of Terror comes to mind - hauntingly romantic.  www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3C8VR…  
 

And Thanks! I'm glad you like it. AND. THANKS for the  !

And a fun heads up, I'm hoping to use the third piece in this series that I'm working on as my entry for the 15th Anniversary competition. Depending on time, I'll probably be finishing it just under the wire for the deadline, lol!

Perhaps somethin' from the Roarin' 20s? XD

No problem!  I'll be on the lookout for it!
