Merchant’s Wife at Tea, after Kustodiev

Well you’ve deserved a rather large drink I would think! Seriously, you’ve achieved something amazing - all that detail and colour and all in the right places ( I haven’t checked out the original, I will). A rather satisfied feeling as well, you made it, you didn’t give up. A very big “ Well done!” from me Frank.

Dare I say it? I think I prefer yours Frank. I like the brushwork, it has a bit of the Impressionists about it, though maybe not the subject matter.

Now that’s what I call a tea! Very nicely painted Frank. I will also have a look at the original which I’m not familiar with.

Wow Frank! I've seen this painting on a few art progs. Excellent result... and 20cm square?? I could never produce anything this complex on so small a canvass.

Love it Ron, great job.

Tessa’s comment made me laugh, though parts of it look quite healthy!

Good job, thats about the width of my iPad. Having looked it up, I think I prefer your version too.

I think you have achieved an ENORMOUS amount Frank. You have done an amazing job.

Fabulous patient attention to detail and a great result Frank. Hat off to you.

I can only salute your excellent work and talent Frank.

Amazing detailing on such a small painting and all painted so well.

Thank you all for your comments, I'm glad you all got a little pleasure from it. This painting will appear in a special display at our club's art exhibition this weekend.
