Medium: oil paint on wooden panel

Prompt: The assignment was to create a hue-bias painting inspired by a poem.

I chose the poem “A Monk Sips Morning Tea” by Matsuo Bashō as the inspiration for my hue-bias painting. I chose to use a purple hue throughout the piece. To me, this purple atmosphere illustrates the meditative solitude of the poem. I worked purely from imagination to illustrate this scene.
