to go with my Blue Boy - after Gainsborough i did this one ... paintings by two different artists but so often thought of as a pair ... in fact, the originals are together ... on opposite walls facing each other in the main gallery of Huntington Gallery ... originals were painted with oils i presume whereas i have done mine primarily with panpastels and a few pastel pencils (carbothellos and derwents) for some detail work ... thanks for looking ... c&c always welcomed ...

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous. I'll have to take a look at the original, but this one is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. Gene

Wow, you're good. I've never tried copying a master's work, but it seems like a smart thing to try. I bet it's very inspiring. Michele
