While confined with a broken leg, I began small projects, small canvas board paintings of details from Paul Cezanne works. It was an undertaking I thought manageable given my lack of mobility. Crutches are a pain. It had been a while since I had painted a still life so I decided to follow the master, to try to understand his compositions and to match his paint color choices. I fell in love, all over again, with Cezanne. His vision and experimentation are extraordinary. Each painting I attempted taught me a new lesson about still life painting and about light. I am finishing up a few more 'after Cezanne' studies and will post them soon.
