Provence Parlor Lore #1 ~ Watercolor by John Klobucher

Hello friends and art fans! Here’s a little Art of Lore…

I painted this watercolor in the style of Van Gogh, imagining a rooming house parlor in Arles, Provence circa 1890. It even includes miniature replicas of two Van Gogh masterpieces on the wall — a mountain landscape and a very blue self-portrait, both from 1889.

His works will always be fresh and exciting to me. I hope I did him justice.

Painted: February 2018
Paints: Winsor & Newton Professional Water Colours
Paper: Arches Watercolor Block, cold pressed, 140lb 9″x12″

Provence Parlor Lore #1 ~ Sketch by John Klobucher

Hello friends and art fans! Here’s a little Art of Lore…

This sketch had two sources of inspiration. The first was a photograph of a dark-gray tabby cat named Mercury taken by my friend Jackie in her angular apartment. The other was Vincent Van Gogh’s famous painting of his bedroom at Arles in 1888.

I’m a big fan of Van Gogh (and cats too of course), so I’m eager to see how this imagined parlor from 19th century Provence translates into a watercolor. Stay tuned!

Vincent's Farmhouse ~ Watercolor by John Klobucher

Hello friends and art fans! Here’s a little Art of Lore…

This is my attempt to evoke the spirit and style of Van Gogh’s vivid landscapes in a watercolor painting. It’s a countryside scene from a colorful and crooked land of impossible purple fields and bright orange skies where Vincent’s farmhouse welcomes your visit.

Painted: July 2020
Paints: Winsor & Newton Professional Water Colours
Paper: Arches Watercolor Block, cold pressed, 140lb 9″x12″

Hello friends and art fans! Here’s the latest Art of Lore…

This sketch had two sources of inspiration. The first was a photograph of a dark-gray tabby cat named Mercury recently taken by my friend Jackie in her angular apartment. The other was Vincent Van Gogh’s famous painting of his bedroom at Arles in 1888.

I’m a big fan of Van Gogh (and cats too of course), so I’m eager to see how this imagined parlor from 19th century Provence translates into a watercolor. Stay tuned!
