I forgot to post last Thursday, but I finished working on this copy and turned in my permit. I know there's more I could have done to be closer to the original, but at a certain point I just stopped caring about that. What I was most interested in was the "geography" of the rocks in the landscape. This is something I deal with when I paint in Maine, so I'm hoping that by copying this painting, I'll be better able to "get" the Maine shoreline.
My next copy will be a Degas painting titled, "Before the Ballet". It's a unique composition, on an unusually proportioned canvas. I'm excited about it!
