Army Packer- Remington

This is my Following the Masters entry
it is a Frederic Remington
for copyright legalities: This is not for sale and is for my own personal use.....
calling it a "study".... One website says this was painted before 1922, approx. 1901
a bit of a closeup As you can see I changed the background and foreground.... This below is the original:
I did enjoy doing this in oils. It was a perfect size, 5.5" x 5.5". I haven't painted too many animals before. Now on to the cupcake challenge on Different Strokes from Different Folks!!!!!

An oil painting- Peony on Copper Bowl

My reveal- This is from last months Following the Masters challenge.

This is oil on Masonite hardboard. And I completely forgot who the original "Master" was who painted this! Someone out there will know...
I enjoy working on the hardboard more than the canvas. Now I need to go buy some more.

First Glimpse


Maxfield Parrish- Spring


A first glimpse at the Following the masters challenge. I chose Maxfield Parrish's "Spring". There are some details that need to be worked on. I was using a small picture from my printer... I found a that putting it on my desktop background brought out more of the details that I need to bring out. I used prisma colorpencils... on my moleskine journal. stay tuned.....
