Exasperated with Madame Bovary's character in Gustave Flaubert's classic French novel, I was inspired to paint an abstract with colours reminding me of that era. The result is a textural use of blush against a moody blue background.

Flaubert's novel takes place in provincial France and follows Emma Bovary's adulterous life. It caused quite a commotion and was attacked for obscenity by public prosecutors of the time. 

Published in 1856, the novel is now part of the public domain and is considered a master piece of French literature.

Exaspérée par le personnage de Madame Bovary dans le roman historique de Gustave Flaubert, j'ai décidée de peindre en utilisant des couleurs me rappelant cette époque. L'oeuvre avec ses textures, est une étude de couleurs blanc cassé et rose pâle sur fond tumultueux de bleu foncé.

Le roman de Flaubert se déroule près de Rouen en Normandie. Il raconte l'histoire d'Emma Bovary femme aldutère aux prises d'un ennuie totale de la vie provinciale. L'auteur fut pursuivit en justice pour "Outrage à la morale publique, religieuse et aux bonnes moeurs". Publiée en 1856, l'oeuvre fait maintenant parti du domaine publique.
