Copy Cat Painting #33

22" x 30"
Jim McVicker

I copied one of my favorite paintings today.  It has a lot of elements that I need to work on: dark trees with a bunch of limbs, distant water & grass color.  My painting is a lot smaller than the original, but I stuck with the large brushes (trying to stay loose).  This grass color can be difficult for me to mix on site, but I think McVicker nails it in this painting - mine could still be more mustard and less green. I'm going to paint at China Camp tomorrow or somewhere that has some distant water; at least, that's the plan.

I like the fresh quality of this painting....and it may be copycat but your brought your own sensibilities to canvas. Nice job!
