Another example is Woman in a Purple Coat (1937) by Henri Matisse.
So I added strong calligraphic lines with black in this version. It’s still in progress, but it’s more along the line (pun intended) of the style I’m going for, as opposed to the pretty stiff version in Monday’s post.
The funny thing is that I’m working like a dog to finish up the illustrations for a book project and theoretically should not be taking time to create other artwork... can’t stop myself, apparently!

It is getting there! Love that style too. So much excitement and movement.
there is only one solution if you feel you are unable to stop painting: Don't!!! "Follow your bliss!"
While you may think the first rendition of your yellow house was stiff, I really felt it had an Edward Hopper feel to it. Check out this link, Loreen.

Also, you inspired me to share some of my own work on my blog besides just my quilts! Thanks!
I’ll take Edward Hopper comparisons any time, thanks! : )
This last version really does appeal to the quilt-maker in me -- I love the black outlines, especially because they remind me of stitching. You have amazing talent -- and when the muse visits, you don't shut the door on her: you invite her in for as long as she wants to stay!
