CRAB ON IT'S BACK after VanGogh

This is another of my "Master's" paintings. Originally painted by Vincent VanGogh, I think this is my favorite "reproduction". It was so much fun to paint. VanGogh was truly a master of brushwork. Trying to duplicate his strokes was a real challenge and very educational for me. This is a 10x10 on stretched canvas. If you are interested in purchasing this painting, please contact me through the comment box.

Love this, you are clever. I"ve not seen the pic before..it's not in my Van Gogh book! I love to copy too, John Singer Sargent in preference, because you learn so much.

Thanks Sharon, I agree, it's one of the best ways to learn. Of course my favorite thing to do it get on the internet and find wonderful artists from all over to world to learn from.
