Art appreciation-sold

Oil on canvas panel, 6" x 8"
I hate when museums put ropes in front of paintings, because when I'm at a museum I've got my nose right up to the surface, just like these folks. It's the only way to see how it's done.

    Such a wonderful piece, Kathy. Don't all artists look at art this way?

    You're right about that. It seems the older I get, the closer I get too! I really like this painting!

    Hi Kathy.
    I agree with you, it is the only way to study a painting. I got told off once for doing just that, but I managed to sneak a photo of a Van Gogh. So I got my own back. By the way, This is a lovely painting. The two people are really studying this one. All the best Kathy.
    Vic.
