Boit Daughters

This was an excersize for seeing masses. I copied an 8" printout of John Sargent's Boit Daughters standing 5' away from the source while painting so as to not deal with detail.
The actual size of the painting is about 4-1/2" square

What an interresting exercise in loosing the detail, the painting has turned out very effective. I think I need to try something like that because I'm a terrible stickler for detail!
