I’ve read that all painters “borrow” from the other artists that inspire them – I know I do – and it doesn’t matter because one always will put the mark of their own personality on a painting. So I think you’re selling yourself short here!
It’s a lovely painting and works very well to describe a “dreary” day while still offering visual excitement; although they’re muted, it’s really quite colorful. I’ve noticed that sometimes when there is cloud cover, colors become more saturated, and you caught that here. I love the way the yellow mid-ground field just glows (edit: and I wrote this before I saw that John noted the same thing!). Nice one!
