Master Inspiration

This past weekend me and my friend Marina Kharkover did some small paintings inspired by master works. I find this is a very fun exercise and if you allow yourself to be lose enough, you get some really interesting results. We both were trying to make original pieces that didn't resemble the originals too closely. The top piece is inspired by "Psyche Receiving the First Kiss of Love" 1798 by Francois Gerard, and the one below that is inspired by "Bathsheba at her Bath" 1654 by Rembrandt.
