Out hunting mist on Saturday and came upon this dramatic scene up near Yeovil. I'd initially headed down to Corfe but it just wasn't happening, so I'm glad I cut my losses and headed elsewhere. This is a five stitch pano, which gives you huge detail in the mastercopy. Not much colour in the original so gave it the mono treatment instead.
A small portion from a very large floral painting by Willem Van Aelst, dutch painter, 1662. I've taken sort of a sabbatical this summer to work on learning more and study the Dutch Masters again.

Alexander Soukas, Oil on linen mounted to panel, 11x14
A mastercopy as part of a series of assignments for my thesis in my painting class at Pafa. After finishing this I was inspired to design an origami piece I could weave somehow into the narrative
My mastercopy of James Guthrie's painting titled To New Pastures. James Guthrie was a painter of Scottish Realism, creating this in 1883 at the age of 23. He was in a group called the 'Glasgow Boys', a group of young painters who were influenced by French Realism. The setting here is Crowland in the flat fenlands of Lincolnshire. His work is in public domain. You learn a lot painting a master copy. The original size is 13"x22". This is a 6"x12" and another goose or two was added to the parade to fit my canvas size. So much is learned from doing a master copy.
Originally painted in 1663, I just could not resist painting a master copy. I've been studying the Dutch Masters, especially Willem van Aelst and have been smitten with his work. Each item I approached offered a new challenge for me. Happy to say that it is complete, framed, and ready to hang. There are many Dutch Master paintings in public domain, so I'm not stepped on any toes. 24" x 36"

The image of this is terrible. A lot of detail is lost in this. I need a better camera. But this is good for now
Unsigned humble copy of dutch artist Carel Fabritius - just for my own study. There are some paintings in history that fascinate me. Goldfinches were often kept and trained as household pets and I believe this was the case for this one, as he was chained to the mailbox. This work may have been in Carel Fabritius's home in Delft at the time of a gunpowder explosion that killed him and destroyed much of the city (I am reading more about that now). After this, the painting was lost for more than two centuries before its rediscovery in Brussels. It is now in the collection of the Mauritshuis in The Hague, Netherlands. It was restored in 2003. I had a few hours today before the holiday whirlwind begins, so I painted this for myself. Apparently, gunpowder was stored in barrels in a former convent and the cause of the explosion is unknown.
study after Caravaggio, graphite on paper, 8x6
First stage of the tonal study - breaking up the value scheme into two masses - light and dark.
A study in progress.....
After Bougureau, Graphite on paper.
Boon: I am experimenting with the exposure levels! Thanks for the link. I think this photo is much better (certainly not perfect, but it's a start to better photos :) Every time I took a photo of my drawings it picked up every stupid grain of the drawing >:( Makes my work look terrible. This is much closer to what it looks like in life. A dozen thanks! (and of course, any more tips are greatly appreciated!)
Grisaille study after Shanks' "Tweedle Dee"
Alexander Soukas, Oil on Linen panel, 8"x10"
A stack of old studies from school last year were unearthed a few weeks ago, and when I came to check them out, the light had managed to strike the top of the stack quite startlingly!
Prometheus Bound - After Rubens
A quick museum sketch at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Graphite, conte, and white chalk on toned paper.
Mummy Gren has decided that we should have a 'Decorate Burps' Belly' contest.
So! without further ado, here's the blank canvas (above and next photo).
all you need to do is take it along to photoshop and manipulate it in whichever way takes your fancy (would be grand if you didn't accentuate the already bloody huge stretch marks, though) and then post your masterpiece to the pool:

Master Copy - I came across the beautiful work of Geraldine van den Sande Bakhuyzen, The Hague, Netherlands, b. 1826 d. 1895. This is my humble Master Copy of her Garland of Flowers.
Some days I painted one leaf or one flower, other days I made more progress. I wasn't in a hurry, I just wanted to study this piece. If you have time to google her you will find many, many exquisite works. She was born into a family of painters, her father taught her and her brother Julius.
