My take on Hockney

Comments

I forgot to say that I loved using these colours!

That is really good, Marjorie. You have captured the style of Hockney so well! I must admit I am a great fan of Hockney!!

Love this painting of Hockney and you have done an amazing job 💗🎨

And a VERY good take indeed, love the colours too

Love this take in Hockney.

Terrific! Love the pool.

I thought of Hockney straight away! Great colour!

This is very good Marjorie. I had hoped to visit his exhibition in Cambridge recently but didn’t manage to fit it I 🙁 so this has cheered me up 😉

I really like this Marjorie, great take on Hockney.

Certainly looks like a Hockney- especially the bright colours and the water in the pool.

Thanks everyone - I have a Hockney calendar, bought at Salt’s Mill in Saltaire, Yorkshire. Lots of his work is there - this painting is of course from his time in L.A.

Well done Majorie, very Hockney-esque.

This is superb Marjorie. I especially love the nonchalant pose of the man in the red jacket. Great work in the background and the pool. So, so Hockney.

I think it's great Marjorie...a gold star. Being Ooooop north I expect you have seen all of his stuff in Salts Mill ?

Thanks Lewis, Carole ( those names go together😁), Russell, Sylvia and Spencer. Yes Sylvia, I always like to pop into Salt’s Mill when I visit my son. Great place.

This is quite superb Marjorie, a really good interpretation of the great master himself, who’s work I so greatly admire!

Super colours Marjorie! Well done- really good interpretation.

Very well done , love the light.

Definitely in the style of Hockney, Marjorie.

Thanks Ellen, Alan, Fred and Linda. I like Hockney, like that he is always moving forward. He’s certainly not an artist who sticks to a “ winning formula”. I also like his down to earth dry sense of humour ( at least from what I’ve seen on programmes about him).

Brilliant work Marjorie!!! 💕

very nice rendition of my favourite Hockney artwork

Thanks Beatrice and Andi - loved using the vibrant colours here.

Fantastic use of colour

You should really ring mr Hockney and tell him you are copying his style Marjorie. I have permission by all the artists I copy from ,and they are quite happy as long as I don’t sell them. So stop trying to bully me nosey Rosie.

Russ, I acknowledged David Hockney.

For the Village Show tomorrow there is an art section, one category is to paint a famous artist’s painting. This is acrylic, though I don’t have all the necessary colours.
