A Copy Exercise

"Church at Auvers" (after Van Gogh)

In Al Shull's painting class at LLCC in 2006, one of my favorite assignments was to make a small copy of a painting by a favorite artist, and then make a larger painting of our own, using what we learned about the artist's technique. I chose this one by Vincent van Gogh.  

"Church at Pere Marquette" (detail)

My own interpretation was Church at Pere Marquette (see the Postcards from the Heartland page).
