UWF Painting I/Painting for Non-Majors: Cezanne's Apples/ Dawn Jongko
UWF Painting I/Painting for Non-Majors: Cezanne's Apples: Cezanne's apples are a favorite of mine, because of the style and use of "shape, value, and color". I personally have a tendency to giving into to tight detail, Cezanne has a way of communicating just what is needed and maintains a loose feeling yet conveying a perfect amount of detail. His images in this painting draw the viewer into the familiar and everyday. It is a painting most can enjoy and connect with personally at some level.

John Markowitz would be pleased with your response! Yes, many people would argue that paintings like this are both approachable and revolutionary, which is why, I am sure, Cezanne is often called "the father of modern painting". When one starts painting, being uptight in your process is practically inevitable. It is only after you create a history and relationship with the medium that you can relax as a painter! Which is all part of learning to paint.
