Ms Melodrama Herself!

Karen Gillis Taylor

The above painting was done as a study of Cezanne's brushwork. I chose it

because his original painting seemed to have shapes which I could rearrange and

adapt into subtle suggestions of heart shapes, my own whimsical choice.

Artistic tradition finds painters making studies of the masters, but this is

the first time I have done so. A remarkable way to get inside the thoughts

of a master painter.
