The
Egg Basket
 |
| Original by Delaporte |
Once
a month I try to do a challenge painting that appears at
http://paintanddrawtogether.blogspot.com
This
month the painting again challenged the artists to do a painting in
the style of the old Masters. This painting”The Egg Basket “ was
by
French painter Henri-Horace-Ronald Delaporte (1724/1725 - 1793).
A
beautiful still life which looks so simple.

| My version |
Actually
it was not so simple to paint. The basket with all the intricacies of
the wicker work was a real challenge. And the eggs to make them look
like eggs and not round blobs had me repainting over a couple of
times. I can also see that I should have made the whole thing a lot darker.
Still
this is the finished example. These are fun to do and also fun to see
the other finished paintings to see how others completed the
challenge . They are so varied but all great to see.
If
you are a painter you might want to join and give it a go !!
