Art for Vincent’s Sake

I should really have my text preceding this series.

I took a photo of a plum tree in bloom. I liked the colour and the light in the background and it looked almost like an impressionist painting, even without any editing. I played around with it using various photoscape features and then I remembered where I had seen a plum tree in bloom before.

Prunes en fleur by Vincent van Gogh

I had to tweak the colour a bit but the similarity is there, is it not?

Vincent van Gogh’s painting “Flowering plumtrees” can be admired in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

After having played around with merging photos with famous painting styles, here is a photo of an original of Vincent van Gogh: Les oliviers.  The painting is hanging in the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh.
