Vase of Lilacs, Roses, and Tulips by Gustave Courbet 1863
This is really nice bathroom or dining room art. Although this may seem like such simple painting, it really isn't. Not only is the artwork hard, but for this painting to be truly beautiful, everything has to be in the right place. The flowers must be put together so that everything looks natural and not too organized, the many different leaves have to go along with the flowers and must be put in the right place so that it doesn't look too disastrous, and the flowers and leaves have to be at the right angle. I'm sure he spent more time finding and arranging the flowers and leaves than actually painting this painting.
Woodland Scene with Hunters by Michel Bouquet 1865
I love nature based paintings, it's attractive to me. This was great effort, time, and dedication. Every detail is nice, but to the right of the painting seems like it is lacking detail. The left side is excellent, but the right looks like the artist was getting lazy. Just a little. Other than that I like the detail of the trees, especially the ones in the middle. I also like the way he drew the trunk of the falling tree. It is very amazing. The part i like most about this painting is the clouds above. It's the most detailed and realistic piece out of the whole painting. Good job Michel Bouquet.
Vase of Flowers by Paul Cezanne 1880-1881
Yes another one. Another vase of flowers, but I don't like this one as much. The color is really nice, but the flowers seem kind of dead and limping except for the orange ones at the top. The other painting looked more firm and lively, but these flowers look like they are withering away, as if the painter took too long to paint the vase after picking them. Maybe the artist wanted it to look that way or maybe I'm being too odd, but usually most flowers are upright and not saggy. Though I like the coloring on this painting of flowers more, I like the way the flowers look on the other painting. So i choose the other painting.
