Breakfast with the Birds




My art class is going well - our homework for week two was to paint from a black and white copy of a Gabriel Munter painting using only primary and secondary colors - no browns or muted colors (so if the hair or tree is brown, well -wht other color could it be?) This was a really fun excercise - like a coloring book for grown ups! I decided the woman at the table should have long hair instead of short. It makes me want to paint my own version of "Breakfast with the Birds". Oddly enough - I got the curtain color dead on from Munter's without seeing it. I saw more birds than she included. What can I say?
