raring to go...

I do not remember exactly but the reference photo was from one of the wde on wetcanvas-dot-com... I ventured out to paint it finally today morning... Got some inspiration to paint with these words of Van Gogh -
If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint", then by all means paint, and that voice would be silenced.
This is acrylic on canvasboard, size of canvasboard is 20cms x 15cms... but I wanted a square composition and so painted part of the canvas and final painting is just 15cms x 15cms...
This will be the first time that I will put my painting on sale :)
It will be available at ChitraSanthe on 31st Jan
This is how the entire canvasboard looks...









And this is the portion painted...

wde 15-Sept Cafe at Arles

Tres had hosted the wde and had posted a few images from places that Van Gogh had visited/painted...
By some vague coincidence, earlier that week, I was flipping through a book "Van Gogh - The Complete Paintings" by a publisher named Taschen... It has all the paintings by Van Gogh...
And it was wonderful that some images for that weeks wde were from places linked to him...
I decided to do the Cafe at Arles... its kind of more leaning towards the original since I painted the top half in blue... kind of ignoring the light coming from the street lights(of modern era)...
This is 12.5cms*18cms, acrylic on sketchpaper...
