I have been working on this piece on and off since last year, based on photographs that I took many years ago at the New Britain Museum of Art in Connecticut. Thomas Hart Benton has made a great impression on me over the years…his amazing compositions, flowing movement, and mastery of Renaissance painting techniques are inspiring…so this was an excuse to “copy” some of his work and use it in my own composition.
In addition, I had a large rolled up sheet of rough watercolor paper that a friend had given me which I was dying to use productively. This painting is one of many I have been producing since 2018 based on photographs of people looking at art in galleries and museums. I find the lighting and postures of the figures to be as interesting as the artwork. Plus, part of the fun is rendering the artwork in the medium of watercolor.
However, although I am using the same color palette of the “copied” paintings in my figures, I still have not resolved whether in future paintings to paint the viewers closer in the style of the artist they are viewing or to continue in my own figure-painting style.

This is my current project. It is for a Windham Arts Alliance show about landmarks in the Catskills.
I thought it would be fun to do a painting og Thomas Cole's Privy. Always looking for something different to do. I've had a tough time matching the colors but I visited the Cole Site and got info about the historic colors that were used in the restoration.
Let me know what you think.

Susan G Trottier, Oil

I did this painting because we just weren't getting many entries for the Challenge. It was done very quickly and I had a lot of fun doing it.

I assume we need to stress a submission can be completed but it can be one for helpful feedback? If the latter, they’ll need to pose the question of give some hint of what they’d like help with.
