After Manet. Bar at the Folies Bergere

This is excellent Dorothy, not surprising it took you a while to complete it , it a complex picture.

Well done depicting this masterpiece - you have captured the bartender's expression perfectly. I agree with you that copying or 'interpreting' the greats teaches so much, not least in new techniques.

What a smashing result for your long hours spent painting this very complex work Dorothy. You are right about learning so much from the old masters. A beautiful painting of which you should be extremely proud.

A tremendous result Dorothy. There is a lot of work involved in creating this scene.....it’s wonderful.

What a difficult painting to emulate and you have achieved that perfectly.

Fabulous pastel and well done you for taking it on

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments
