First Foray Into Abstract Painting & Homage to Lautrec

 

This is the first time I've ever tried working working abstractly.  Not sure what I think about this but I'll experiment some more.

I have always loved the painting, At the Moulin Rouge, by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. I took a painting I didn't like and reworked it with a face inspired by his work.

 I've been reading Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past" and got caught up in that time period this summer.
