I was visiting Greenfield Village (Detroit), and took several photos of young people playing croquet. I used the best of two photos, and this painting is the result of a very fine afternoon.
Get to Know the Austin Artist:
I’ve always loved the colors and textures of impressionism and the techniques used in realism, and I feel my style falls somewhere in between. I do studio paintings from detailed photographs, taping them up all around me, editing out in my mind what I don’t want to be there. I love doing the research and being an arm-chair traveler!
Along the way I’ve raised a family, and had grandchildren. I still design books and book covers; one art career informs the other.
