The basket of apples, Cezanne

Our last assignment for the summer painting class was copying still life from a master painting from the past .

After a lot of internet browsing I decided to paint the apple basket of Cezanne. I love the color and the balanced composition . This piece is known for his disjointed perspective, the tilted bottle, the incline of the basket, and the foreshortened lines of the cookies meshing with the lines of the tablecloth.Additionally, the right side of the tabletop is not in the same plane as the left side, as if the image simultaneously reflects two viewpoints.

Here is my painting :

14x18 inches

oil on canvas

Here is the original :

...my bottle is actually more straight than the original!!!:)
