Art gallery visit number number 2 part 2

I call this Monet's Beach,  Mr Monet calls it Chemide halage a Agenteuiil ( Tow path at Agenteuil) It was painted around 1875 and is oil on canvas. He uses form, space, color line and mass, along with texture,proportion unity and rhythm to create his image and one should not that the texture is created with his strokes. I think of Van Gogh and Monet together as they  are two of my favorite painters and were both impressionists.

 
This is Van Gogh's 1888 "La Maison de la Crau" ( The Old Mill) 1888 it is oil on canvas, His strokes are an integral part of the paintings and he uses color line, space, form and mass , he also uses size and proportion to create perspective in his image, With both of these artists my reaction is amazement and a sense of calm being created out of the chaos we live in. I simply love visiting these paintings and consider myself lucky to have them at my local gallery.
