Original artwork description:

Repainting a particular subject again and again is a trait many artists revert to: Claude Monet was fond of repainting The Houses of Parliament, water lilies, and haystacks; Van Gogh painted five versions of his sunflowers in a vase; Andy Warhol produced at least 32 separate images of his Campbell Soup tins. If the paintings are successful why would you not? It's LBL syndrome - Lazy But Lucrative! But in this series of Updated Old Masters I go one further, or three further to be precise. I paint an already famous image - this time it's Monet's haystacks - in three different styles. Here the sunbursting sky and haystacks are classic Roy Lichtenstein; the background trees and ridge are reminiscent of Katsushika Hokusai's woodblock printing; and the foreground scrapework is inspired by Gerhard Richter.
