My Monet!

This was another project that we had in Margie's class. To copy an old Master! What a lot of fun I had and learned so much! Not too tacky!? I still want to fade the features on both faces a bit.

Wow, Carol, this is beautifully painted! You have captured the "Monet feel" perfectly.

This is my favorite Monet painting, you did a wonderful job on it. I recently used a Sargeant's painting for inspiration, I didn't want to copy it exactly but it was fun to do. I'll be back.

Thanks Barbara. The project was to copy as exactly as we could but of course this is impossible! Trying to get under the skin of another artist! I have often wondered just how "artistic" the people who do reproductions are.

Slangkop Lighthouse, Kommetjie

SOLD Slangkop lighthouse is the tallest iron tower on the South African Coast and sits at the one end of Kommetjie. It measures 100 feet from base to the balcony and has been operational since 1919. Every lighthouse has a different frequency of flashes and this one emits four flashes every 30 seconds as it turns and can be seen for 33 sea miles. Here is an oil painting of the lighthouse from a photograph Bryan took. I would like to do a watercolour of it sometime soon.
