Oil on canvas (11" x 14")
This is a copy of a painting by Mary Hiester Reid who painted in Canada
just after the turn of the twentieth century. My sister-in-law gave me
a card for my birthday with this painting on the front so I took it as a
challenge and started to copy.
This is the first oil painting I have done without a pencil or chalk sketch
on the canvas first, so things are not quite the same proportion as the
original but hopefully the painting is self-consistent. It is in progress
and should be finished in two or three more classes (I hope!).
