i think i made up my mind on which work to enter in "Fakes and Forgeries" this year ("Young Girl"/ Petrus Christus copy). good thing i have about 6 posssible pieces. too busy with marketing and family to paint. i never got a pastel piece done for the "line of a poem" exhibit but will enter an older mixed media piece ("To Helen"). i will keep my Collier "Godiva" copy for the "4 Visions in Pastel" Spring Bull exhibit in March.

You probrably have seen or will see one of these Old Master Copies at "Fakes and Forgeries "

i mostly copy the old masters to stregthen my techniques in portrait painting but sometimes i do it because i admire a work and its creator. i did not intrigued with of most of Seymour Lawrence's work though he is obviously a great technical landscape master until i saw "Venetian Fishing Ship" in an Art &Antiques magazine and it blew me away with it's atmospheric feeling and mood. i felt like i was on a Venetian Island watching the activity on the ship. i was going to enter it this year at Spring Bull but it has sold.

Here's my Great Fake for this year----usually I get all serious about doing a dead-on copy; this year, I went for a little levity, not unlike Sir Jonathan. :) There's a REALLY funny story about the frame I put on this work; remind me to tell you sometime- it's the kind of thing only aonter artist would love. :)
Enjoy~
PS-I'm giving you both the REAL Gaugin as well as my "forgery".

I've just done my take of Magritte's The Treason of Images. The plaque basically translates as: "This is not a pipe...nor a Magritte either!"

Susi-we have some insane collection of art books. I would hate to think about moving. We have hundreds.
The Ca Impressionists book is by William H Gerdts and Will South and it's called CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONISM.It;s a thick, 12x12 book. Very cool.

Nick in Australia does the Sister Wendy impression. Among many. He's a painter too, and does some amazing work.

Yeah, mmmmm I'm getting hungry at this late hour with suggestions of such food! As the summer warms, we should get together. You sound like our kind of people!

Okay, I'm tryin' REAL hard not to see the visual of someone doing an impression of Sister Wendy. :) You tell Miz Marianne we should have an artist's tea party ( maybe with Prosecco in the cups instead of tea) and she can bring that yummy chocloate cake and I'll make a strawberry-rhubarb pie, or maybe sweet potato pecan pie. We could have a Summer Solstice party or some such, with bunches of artists from here, pot-luck ( and desserts) kinda thing...we can all talk about Art until our ears fall off. Whatcha think ? Oh--which book on the California Impressionists, if I may ask ?? I get lost in art books, sometimes for entire days....LOL...love reading just about anything on art, up to and including paint tube labels. :):):):)
