I've been trying to think of new ways to incorporate my love of art history into my paintings, and as I was flipping through some fine art catalogs in my collection, I decided to use the glossy pages of prints featuring old master paintings. In this piece, I used prints of "A Dutch Harbour Scene" by Thomas Heeremans 1660-1697 for the skirt of the dress, and "A River Landscape With Three Huntsman With Their Dogs" by Pieter Meulener 1602-1654 for other areas of the dress and accents. This mixed media painting includes moody colors, subtle textures, layers of papers, and an "aged" finish for a tattered renaissance look, 6 x 12 stretched canvas. It's available on Ebay now, You can see my current paintings for sale by clicking**HERE**.

I just love how you incorporated the painted artwork into her dress, it's so breathtakingly beasutiful. I just love your artwork. I check it out often I just need to comment more. You are crazy talented.
i love how you have used the picture in your art making - you are very creative in your interpretation of the masters - i love visiting your blog - i'm sure you have inspired many others to start their own investigation into some of the more well known artists of the past
Thank you so much, Shannon and Clare! This was something new I was trying. After reading your lovely comments, I may continue in this direction. Thanks again!
