You old softie, you. Very old school feel.

Love Millet's work to copy. Great job on this.

You've captured the spirit I think

I've tried to apply to the Millet colony, is that the same artist?

Jean-François Millet, (born October 4, 1814, Gruchy, near Gréville, France—died January 20, 1875, Barbizon), French painter renowned for his peasant subjects

 

[Maybenartist]

Peasants are my favourite subject, probably because I relate. I did a study of his painting 'The Gleaners'.

 

[Nufocus]
