There is something special about this barn painting. This small oil painting is my attempt to duplicate one of Georgia O'Keeffe's barn series. I was unaware the she had a barn series, until my painting group,
Pieces of Eight, spent a day studying her art and trying to duplicate it.

Duplicating the art of a master is an acceptable learning practice as long as the original artist is given credit, which I have done by signing this work as "after O'Keeffe". It is why you see so many art students sketching in museums. |
To be honest, I chose this work because it was such a simple, flat little piece. The thought of giving her flowers or skulls a try did not appeal to me.
The more I worked on this little piece, the more I began to enjoy it and see it's charm. I ended the day very happy with my choice.
