I have been painting but each time I go to to photograph, it's started
raining---which Texas needs! I spend some time each day looking at other
artists' work whether contemporary daily painters or past artists hoping
whatever it is I like about their work will rub off on me. And then as I try
to channel them while painting, I fear I will copy them. The antidote to
that fear is to go ahead and copy . . . just trying to emulate someone
else's style doesn't result in a work that could be mistaken for the
actual artist's.

Beautiful, Lorraine. I share your feelings about wanting to copy someone else's style. I guess if I don't try to sell it or anything, I won't get thrown in jail. My daughter tells me that I should copy..that I'll learn that way.
Hey, maybe I'll copy you! I love your style!
Virginia . . . that is truly a touching compliment! I have a book written by Juliette Aristides about her atelier school and that's how they teach---copying the masters.
Nice brushwork and rich color.
