If you are painting something for you and you alone maybe, but why take a chance. If you do paint something always attribute it to that artist and use it as a study. We all have copied the old masters, but not for sale. Van Gogh painted many pictures from Delacroix and Millet, but always said it was a study.
This painting was one I did for the shape for the red birds, and the little sparrow. I was happy with the sparrow, but the red birds just got a way from me. I like the blocked out back ground and you can see where I left room for the other birds.
Christmas and greeting cards are a great inspiration for Ideas to paint. I find the more I practice the better at drawing or painting I get. The happier I am with the out come. So you can see why I always say keep your brushes wet and your pencils sharp.
So to be a repeater Keep them brushes wet and sharpen your pencils!
