Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grand Jatte by Georges Seurat, Art Institute of Chicago.

Seurat did preparatory drawings everyday for six months getting ready to paint this picture of people relaxing on a day off. The style is called Pointillism and involves using color dots to create the image. Who knows how Seurat would have refined the style he invented if he had not died at the age of 32.

Love you, Mom!

Monkey (study for La Grande Jatte), 1884 by Georges Seurat, The Art Institute of Chicago.

Seurat made hundreds of studies for his painting La Grande Jatte, some just small pencil sketches like this, some on-site oil sketches, and even full large scale drafts.
