Carol Marine Apples - May 2011

With my confidence up after Blue Drape I tried to duplicate a painting that I like by Carol Marine, a local Austin Impressionist artist. Apprentice artists during the Renaissance learned their craft by copying paintings. I used her painting as practice for duplicating shapes and capturing folds. Carol's original is called "Delve Into Chaos". It is reassuring that Carol still finds folded fabric a challenge with all of her experience. I liked the result so much that I gave this piece to my mom for Mother's Day. Of course since it isn't my work I didn't sign it.
