I was doing master-copy after Degas at National Gallery of Art DC, 2013 summer

at that time, I was influenced by a simple painter Joshua Marsh, his painting attract me in a way, like a small tree with a very clear stream around, he like Pitcher, kettle, dust-pan, broom, etc some ordinary still life, he alo likes family-color to put together, I like it, when he smile happily, looks like a happy snow-man for me.
