Ode to Gustav

Gustave Klimt is definitely one of my all time favorite artists. His use of pattern and color and the way he incorporated both elements with figure and form, is just incredible and, I believe, visionary. I have spent a lot of time studying him. I recently did a critical thought paper on one of his works and fell in love with his art even more. Anyway, I painted my newest watercolor while studying his painting  Adele Bloch-Bauer I.
Here is my Ode to Gustave....
thank you from the bottom of my art,

    Oh, it's wonderful, Kristen! Your palette is delightfully clear and echoes his quite well enough that we thought at first you had found a different work of his we'd not seen before. I'm not kidding.
    And we agree with you. His genius should be remembered.
    I can recall finding instructions in a decoupage how-to book that included his "Kiss" (or was it the Water Snakes?) for the whole of a dresser front (no handles to drawers). It looked stunning!
    Best would be to see it in a museum, but to have it on display large as life 24/7 might be a thrill.
    I'm still waiting for that dresser........
