I pretend I am a princess, so that I can try and behave like one. -Frances Hodgson Burnett,Β A Little Princess . It was enchanting to reimagine an old master painting as part of my "remastered old master" series (Jacob van Oost the Elder's "Head of a young girl", c. 1603-1671). It's like getting to share a model with a famous artist, and having the freedom of imposing my own vision. AND giving myself the 3 color restriction (to use only red, yellow & blue [in addition to black & white]). β Drawing from imagination, I was picturing early morning, the birth of Spring, and the stubbornness of hope. I hope you like it! π What "old master" painting do you think I should "re-do" next? .
