Studying the Masters

"At the Window", study
5"x7" acrylic on canvas
SOLD

Sargent is still my absolute favorite, yes, but I really, really love that small piece by William Merritt Chase, "At the Window", a portrait of his daughter Alice. The feeling of sunlight in it is wonderful, and I feel like I've caught that in this study, or at least I hope so. Of course, I was working from a black and white.... wonder if that helped the "capturing the light" thing or hurt it? Hm....

Anywho, it's been another long day, parts of it very difficult. Hopefully tomorrow will be better- either way, I have a lot to be grateful for, right? Good night!
