They scoffed at Sargent! <br />Fell in LOVE with Mancini on a trip to Malta when I stayed at aa home and they owned 3. I could see Turners influence in mood and edge work. We are all influenced by what has gone before us!<br /><br />Enjoy your week.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-72876627901538777432017-07-31T00:24:39.583-06:002017-07-31T00:24:39.583-06:00A very beautiful painting.

In any case you've done a marvelous job -- difficult to believe it is only 8x6!! You may discern where you've been less than exacting, but I see only that you've replicated all the energy, warmth, and charm of the original. A wonderful homage.<br />Thank you for asking, I am enjoying my current 30x24 piece, but have been slowed down for a while by a bit of "under-the-weatherness" (long story...just arrggh!) Getting back to it again now, and hopefully proceeding at my usual more peppy pace. Look forward to sharing it with you, dear chum.

Mancini's paintings are still in fabulous condition whereas Fechins actually have pieces falling off and have to be placed back in place. Fechin did different mark making to get his loose effect. Both brilliant!juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-48460493566431060842017-07-29T22:07:03.498-06:002017-07-29T22:07:03.498-06:00Thanks Carol.

I did a quick search and did not find anything to suggest that they knew of each others work. Some one said "Ideas are in the air" and I guess that applies here.
