replica of maynard dixon







thanks michelle, for all your hard work and the idea for this months challenge!! michelle has the blog following the masters!!http://followingthemasters.blogspot.com/
i saw quite a few that would be a kick to try, but ended up choosing this one.. this painting was originally painted by maynard dixon... who of course, i knew nothing about...DUH!!! but i enjoyed looking as his and others works, to try and decide what to paint.. so hopefully i even learned some thing!! thanks again michelle!!

Good choice for the challenge, Cindi! My maiden name being "Dixon" drew me to Maynard's paintings early on...especially since I LOVE Western Art! Too bad we weren't "kin-folk" or maybe I would have inherited his talent!
Love the way you handled this one and your palette choice! Great job - beautiful painting!
