Upper left is my favourite – which makes me wonder why i chose the version with all that green

ah, coquelicots! upper left is by far the closest to the original, color wise. assuming my monitor isn’t doing its own brand of distortion. but the key to the colors in the painting really are the sharpness of the orange in the poppies with the yellowy greens (a trace of which color you’ll also see in the clouds in the upper right, in the print i fingered). Basically, it’s a very yellow saturated painting, though the only true yellow is on the woman’s hat (which, accordingly, draws a sharp point of focus).

in person it’s amazing because it’s also quite a large piece.

the version on the bottom left is an abomination.
