I'm not Monet

I wear a beret, but I'm not Monet.

But I had a lot of fun trying to recreate this self-portrait by Monet. The 52frames challenge said "take a photo inspired by the style of a visual artist" and since I wanted to do some impressionist type stuff for a while now (I saw photos online that I liked), I took this as a chance to do this.

 

 

The "Self Portrait with a Beret" (from Wikipedia) has subdued colors, and paint brush texture. I didn't manage (nor did I aim to) recreate the whole thing - his medium was paint, mine are pixels, but it was (in my humble opinion) enough for the 52frames challenge.
