Attempt to Capture the Spirit of Paul Cézanne | Still Life with Quince, Apples, and Pears

[Enyaw]

11 ins by 10 inchs .. oil on paper .. alla prima .. painted Mar 05/24
an attempt to get the spirit of as I don't have the colors he had I had to improvise and my strokes are my strokes so I did not overly try to use his only similants. Well, that's as close as I ever got .. a google search of my image brings up Cezannes.

Great job! You did nail Cezanne.

Nice work Paul!!

 

[snoball]

I think you did it, and without copying him. Well done.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Bart, John, and Sno. It was a fun learning experience. I think he had a Prussian blue and a CAD Yellow that I didn’t.

 

[Bongo]

Cezanne would be proud, .. or then again he might be upset you aped his style

 

[Donna T]

I think this style suits you! It’s obviously Cézanne but it’s got lots of you in it too and it’s a beauty.

 

[Enyaw]

Thanks Bongo. I guess I could tell someone that I found a painting in my attic that I think is valuable and show them the Cézanne online after I showed them mine. Of course I’d have to copy the signature but that would be easy. It would be funny if I had someone take the bait.

Thanks Donna: appreciate the lift.

 

[PaintBoss]

Oh yeah, you captured Cezanne. Great work!

 

[Terri]

This is beautiful! And you may have found inspiration from Cezanne but he didn't paint this - you did. Many of the greats have a certain similarity in their use of textures, outlines, and of course they all were using the same available paints back then.

This is glorious, and suits your loose approach very well. Fabulous work!
