I do like that Jenny, it's very clever. I can't guess Marjories other than Hopper colours

“My take on Gauguin’s The Potato Field.  (Marjorie, the stance of the figure in yours reminds me of Hockney’s painting with a figure looking into a swimming pool.)” Jenny, you are right! Hockney’s “Pool with Two Figures” intrigued me and I tried to carry the idea into my very different painting. I also did my own copy of Hockney in acrylic.

Sorry Jenny, don’t know how that happened ( crashing into your post). I meant to add the info after!

That’s OK, Marjorie, didn’t really notice.  We looked at Hockney’s work a while ago in the Inspirations thread, and his pool with two figures painting is so memorable.  I’m a fan of his work as well!

I like Edward Hopper’s work, I might have guessed it from the subject matter.

Not overly keen on it myself !  Marjorie. Plus somehow I lost the top of the lighthouse when uploading.

I was looking through my sketchbooks for something I might try to do again better, and I found a pic I did of that famous 'enigmatic smile.'  I thought it would match this challenge, so I gave it a go.  It's OK, but I still prefer the original version...I find that's often the case with sketches.

I think goofy Mona is fun. My picture is the second part of the challenge. An own picture in the style of another artist. This picture is to like my own style, but it has Hopper colours and shadows.my 21C Venus was far better for the first challenge.  I think I might have misunderstood the remit.  Were we supposed to let people guess the artist. Marjorie said she might have gguessed it by the subject. Apologies if I've made a blunder.
