I am taking Mindy Lacefield's yearlong online class and I had some time last night to work on one of the paintings.
I am having a lot of fun and enjoy learning how Mindy approaches the painting process and I think I am learning some things that I could translate into my own painting styles and subject matter. The only thing that bothers me is that clearly this picture looks like Mindy's style. I like how it turned out, but it definitely feels like an imitation. I just need to figure out how to incorporate these techniques into my own unique style.
My long time friend Jen recently had a new baby who she named Grace. I was looking for a gift for her and found the perfect one! She has 3 other children, named Faith, Hope and William. There are lots of home decorations with Faith and Hope on them. This one was perfect because it had 3 of her kids names, plus Love. Isn't it great? She did love it when she received it in the mail.

I love our new piece, it looks a bit Mindy but really I see your voice in it. I can't wait to see where you take this...xox
Cool piece! Sure, it looks a bit Mindy but still has enough you in it not to make it an imitation. And I find, the first one or two always come out looking a bit like the teacher's anyway, then you fly off in your own direction.
Very sweet artwork, so gentle and peaceful. Love the colors!
This is beautiful and I know this lovely gift will be much appreciated.
it's lovely! i looked at that class, and wondered if i would imitate her style too. so do you recommend it, or are you undecided cause it's too soon to tell?
I am glad I signed up for it. Each month she explains and shows videos of one piece through its entire process of development. I am really enjoying it and I do love her style. If you want to see her steps for her layered and complex pieces then you would like it.
