Working toward my best
I am an amateur who has always loved art, but when I told my parents I wanted to major in art, after a lengthy silence, my mom simply said, “But you like to eat.” So I majored in the sciences. Great career, but sure missed the Art.
But now, many decades later, the Old Masters Academy is a dream come true – the courses I couldn’t take when younger are now readily available whenever I am ready to learn. And they are worth watching repeatedly!
Before I took the course, I copied a masterpiece by Pierre August Cot. But after the course, I got brave enough to try a portrait of my husband. I know I have much to learn and that is the journey toward my best that I am enjoying with the help of the Old Masters Academy.
Anet Louw says
Great work, I love both.
Stephen Jamison says
I love them both. Great hands! Lovely relaxed pose in your portrait of your husband. Why not try the Pierre August Cot again just to see the improvement on a direct comparison?
Susanne Nickel says

Excellent paintings, but personally I relater to the two young lovers. I love the emotion and seductive poses and the movement and spontaneous composition. I think your colors work beautifully to emphasize the playful mood of picture. You have reason to be very proud of yourself. Brilliant!
Beverly Fornasiero says

Great works !!!!
Hank & Taylor Treadwell says
Incredible paintings, both. You have captured feeliongs and personality, true works of art. I personally would like to see some of your earlier works to see how much improvement you have accomplished. I’m going to enroll my daughter and want to show her how much she could improve if she applies herself.
P.S. I’ve been trying portraits and they’re freaking HARD! (haven’t taken course yet myself)
