As long as this has evolved into a discussion about copying the Master's I am pleased to share my exciting news. I live five minutes away from an art museum that has an original Bougueureau and a Paxton. I was there this morning and I have been given permission to paint at the museum and copy what ever I wanted. I am so excited. I have heard such good things about the learning experience in doing so. My two older children will be in school soon and my son starts pre-school so for three hours, every day for the next nine months I will have MY TIME and I get to dedicate 100% to painting.
I've not had a chance to do this for over 20 years.
Pinch me, I think I am dreaming!!
