Copy of Winslow Homer's "Breezing up"

16x20 oil

I thought that I would copy a Winslow Homer painting for this week. It's not easy. Those old timers are using a different technique that I did. Think they used glazing. Me, just the brush. I used Prussian blue, but he might have used phthalocyan blue. My version is still cooler that just a poster print.
