Re: Monet Style: lady with Parasol
This is a bright and joyous interpretation of the Monet painting (great choice Amina). It looks as if the rough texture has helped with the abstract/ impressionist style and help you not get too drawn into detail -although I notice with the face you could not resist! Monet has just hinted at eyes and that's it. The parasol is all sorts of tints mixed into the white -giving the impression of reflected light and shadows through a white fabric. In your painting there doesn't seem to be a handle being held for the parasol so yours reminds me more of a saints halo -which is also a nice interpretation!
