Inspiration from Edward Hopper

I recently took a class at the Art School in Demarest, NJ. I experimented with water-soluble oil paints. I used to work in oils, but couldn't stand the smell.

Now I have found a new medium that looks like oil...but it is odorless and cleans up with water.

One of our assignments was to copy a master painter in our medium. Hopper worked in regular oils, but I copied his Coast Guard house. See how he is a master of having the light hit the building. Now if I can just do that on the paintings that are my ideas.

This 12 x 16 painting and several others I did in the class are for sale. Call me at 201-928-1787. The other paintings are in the posts above.
