JOHN SINGER SARGENT: INSPIRATION

Although John Singer Sargent is known for his portraits, I tend to favor his other subjects; architecture, pomegranates, and ships to name a few.  When interacting with art, it is important to view it from a distance, but also up close.  At this level you see the true talent and technique of the artist.  Each preliminary pencil line and brushstroke is visible, allowing me to gain inspiration for my own artwork. Here is a collection of close up shots from the John Singer Sargent exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
