Corot's painting "Interrupted Reading"
After spending days getting caught up on my neglected life - housework, yardwork, varnishing, framing, packaging, shipping... I collapsed on my chair and started to paint. I think I just needed to do something completely different, get some practice time in - I chose a painting that I've been enamored with for years - titled, "Interrupted Reading", by Jean Baptiste Camille Corot. Oddly, I felt the urge to flip the image, with all due respect to the artist, and I delve into the rich, autumn colors (something my brain misses). I really enjoyed painting this piece and it was a nice way to end the day.
Nice job Karin! It's a terrific rendition of Corot with some Jurick thrown in (and flipped!) I'm inspired to try something similar.
ReplyDeletewhat is your painting process karen? did you project the image onto your canvas or draw it free-hand?
ReplyDeleteFree hand sketching and that's it.
ReplyDeletedo you ever paint paintings for yourself, or want to keep any that are planned for sale?
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer it your way round - I've never seen this Corot before - thanks for introducing me to it.
ReplyDeleteI'm due a housework break soon for good behaviour! But do I want one???
Beautiful Painting
