One of my favorite artistic movements is the Impressionist movement of the 19th Century. Wikipedia says, characteristics of Impressionist paintings include visible brush strokes, open composition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_%28visual_arts%29), emphasis on light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.
Famous Impressionist artists include Monet, Manet, Cassatt, Degas, Renoir, and Pissarro.
The challenge this month is to choose an artist or painting from the Impressionist movement as your inspiration for a piece of art.
Please post your work in the Artist's Studio Challenge gallery and link back here. A link to your inspiration would be a great addition.
