Night Shopafter Jennifer McChristian
acrylic on 18" x 24" canvas board
This is a copy of a painting I really admire by Jennifer McChristian. I love attempting to copy a painting but it has such negative connotations. It isn't nearly as good as Jennifer's but it was a fun exercise for me. My brain is empty and if I didn't do this, I wouldn't do anything at all. I'm hoping to get back on my stool and paint regularly. Please visit Jennifer's website and enjoy her beautiful work, you won't be sorry.
I plan on giving this to Ron, my daughter Mary Ellen's boyfriend. Ron says just 2 more years and they can be common-law! Well, I think you have to live together to get that title, but he is a wonderful person and I love him for being so good to my daughter. Ron recently lost his Father who had an extensive work shop. So did my own Father. I'm sure that is why I was drawn to this painting.

I like this alot, Beckie. Darkness outside, light within, the old man and his tools and his work space...Well done! I do hope you will be back to painting and posting more regularly soon. I always worry so much about you when I don't see your words here...
I wonder what he's looking for? Love the sky! Amazing stuff :) and I love copying other paintings....its only then you dicover how truly great the painting is!
Beckie, so glad to hear from you and to see your note on my Facebook wall! I am fine, enjoyed every minute of my 14 days trip to the USA, the workshop was such a pleasure! I will write about it in my blog, just need some time before starting..
I am glad you keep painting, it is such a pleasure to do and to see the result!
You've handled this thought provoking piece very well, Beckie! The open door-the light-the figure.
Jennifer McChristian is a fantastic painter. A good choice to learn from.
I'm a big fan of Jennifer McChristian. I agree that copying is a great way to learn.
I came over from Sherry's blog to say that your generosity toward her is a beautiful thing.
Beckie, your painting is charming. I love it. I laughed out loud at your mention of "common-law" ... Wow! What a world we live in today. I have kids also. :) Nita
Hi, Becky! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such nice comments on my blog site. It truly made my day and then some!
I admire your acrylics...the pure color you acheive is amazing! Your paintings have a great spontaneousness to them, as you know I sometimes get bogged down in details!
I will check back in often!
Fondly,
LuAnn
