A new (not original) painting

I am attaching a photo of a painting that I COPIED from a wonderful artist, Catherine Grawin.  I saw this painting in her studio and loved it!  When I told her, she said, so paint it!  I am not going to reproduce it or sell it - it will just be for my own enjoyment.  I haven't copied paintings in a long time -- it's a great way to learn to paint in the beginning - the composition is already there and you don't have to figure out colors.  It can be overwhelming in the beginning - at least it was for me - so much to figure out.   Lots of teachers use copying as a teaching tool to beginning students so you can get comfortable with the media.  Anyway, I love the painting and here it is . . .
