Lock the doors and tape you windows and hope it don't blow your house down. Good time to stay in and paint furiously whilst the wind whistles round the eaves. Any snow?
Stunning. Evokes Turner too. I have just found a new artist - I don't understand why I haven't seen his work before. His works in wikipedia are stunning. Master of impressionistic light.
It's an unusual composition but it works well. He did many like this and was quite successful in terms of sales in his own lifetime. These pictures were/are appealing because, as well as the technical prowess, they speak to people of everyday life in Paris at that time. I lived in Paris and looking at his paintings reminds me of how surprisingly intact many of the streetscapes of central Paris still are. It's a wonderful city full of art and history and he captured it well.
Wonderful control of values here. And I love the way the painting is rough all around and in the lower portions of the figure and gets gradually more finished as we move into the face. I also like the use of blue in the shaded areas of the white fabric. This blue plays nicely with the yellows, oranges and reds in the face.
It's a well drawn and very fine, strong painting. She was a very great painter.
Beautifully drawn. Good composition. And amazing technique in paint application. The overall khaki colour scheme I don't like so much but that might just be a poor quality photo.
Beautiful! Love the colours. And I especially like the way he has done the leaves on the road. He hasn't tried to detail every leaf but just laid down board areas of brown-orange and then noted a few. But the whole reads beautifully.
More recently on instagram I've viewed dozens of Peder Mørk Mønsted's works. Most I've seen are stunning - as though the very air is crisp and clear and the light is perfectly captured. Better than the Russian landscape artists I've seen. So I would say this is one of the least of the ones I've seen and looks more like a quick illustration for a story in a magazine by comparison to his other works. Compositionally it isn't as strong. I do agree the whole reads beautifully.

The dress was probably a delicate blue/grey in reality but yellowing of the varnish has made it look khaki.
