The style i believe you are thinking of is Post Impressionism and early Modernism and as nara vr mentioned, it has a feel very similar to the works of Henri Matisse. I have to say though, that i like this much better than Matisse. The anatomy is much more sound, there is a greater sense of depth and there is significantly more emotion here than in his works. Beautiful job.
Spanish Lady by @klawzie (Chella Reaves)
A Spanish lady portrait. It reminds me of a certain style, but I don't know the movement or the artist. Ohwell. I rather like it. Painter: various watercolor brushes. Artwork © Copyright 2003 Chella Reaves
I know what you mean.... I think the figure looks like the ones by Henri Matisse... Really nice stuff you got there...
