A stunning painting. Have you still got the facebook link? It might help to find the route back to the artist.

I haven't seen that before and I'm sure I'd remember if I had.

I've found a clue. It looks like a collage of paintings because the picture on the right is "Romeo and Juliet" by Sir Frank Dicksee. But I can't find any info about the others pictures.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Alan is never one to pull his punches...... Yes, this is a composite - I now recognize the Dicksee painting, having had my nose rubbed in it first, and the others are all sections chopped from classic 19th century paintings to make up the whole. As a work of art, of course, it doesn't work at all, but as a bit of digital manipulation it's .... reasonably clever.

Not brilliant but I wouldn't call it ghastly - I actually find it a bit of fun in a sort of surrealistic way. Yes it probably is a composition cobbled together by some alien force but I do see the making of a focal point but for one factor. The two ladies and the man are looking towards the unclad beauty on the floor (I wonder why) but this is completely disrupted by the couple on the right who are entirely self-absorbed in some sort of tasting ceremony. As for the man on the right, from this awful image, it appears that his left leg is inside the room and the right is outside - has he swapped over legs? And why is the naked lady being serenaded by the flute and offered flowers by someone she is clearly not interested in? Oh the mystery of it all !!
