Translating Mucha

7/18/2016

So I tried my hand at translating one of my flower drawings through the inspiration of Alphonse Mucha.  It was an fun exercise and it isn't until I was into my interpretation that I realized just how difficult a task I'd set myself.  Still I think it's a good start.  I can't wait for the next one.

Oh, I've added a few other drawings I've done.  Just mine, no translation.

There's something achingly poignant--sweet, even, in a 1912 Lillian Gish silent movie kind of way--about the effect of the color choices and the drawing of your Mucha homage. A first breath of spring before the March snows are entirely melted... very lovely.

Your drawing style becomes more realistic and more elegant all the time. It's impressive.
