Well I do like this one Lew, a great idea and old Gauguin looks fantastic.

This is very interesting to look at Lewis, I like your idea. Gauguin's pose is exc. with some of his work surrounding him. Colours are great too. Yes, I like it very much, your drawing skills are superb.

A really good idea Lewis and well executed. I like the way some of his subjects in the background seem to be looking at Gauguin thinking “hmm” and he seems to be thinking “who’s next”. You certainly put a lot of thought into your work.

Cleverly put together Lewis and well painted in your unique style

Such a good idea Lewis and so interesting to look at. Love Gauguin's relaxed, cool pose!

This is super Lewis, in your unique style. Agree with Louise about his relaxed, cool pose (and the attractive range of greens).

It's a very creditable piece of work Lewis. Great idea, as said by others. ...

Wonderful pose, great painting.

Superb piece Lewis. Nice size as well, would look great on the wall.

Not only creative but superbly talented. Another brilliant image Lewis

A brilliant work of art, you have his pose spot on and a great likeness 😃

Thanks for looking at my picture, and your generous comments. This was an idea that seemed simple in my head, but posed problems that almost put me off completing it. Should I decide to do an 'homage' to another artist, I'll have to find a different way.

Excellent work and idea as usual Lewis, I particularly like the echoing of the background pose by Gauguin.

It's a great concept Lewis and surely worth pursuing with other artists. Brilliantly drawn as always and as John has already said, would look great on a wall.

What a brilliant idea Lewis, superbly executed as usual, Gorgeous!

This is clever Lewis, a great painting.

Brilliant...love all aspects of this.

Wow – stunning work Lewis!

It's all been said but I thought I'd lob my support into the pot. This is a great idea and so well done. Brian

Wow, that's a lot of portraits in one picture but then you are a master of faces!

Homage to Gauguin. He's taken from an old photo. The idea was to have segments of his paintings around him. But these are small (almost like miniatures), so I haven't slavishly copied them, they are more a suggestion of his work. Quickly went off the boil on this (too much in thrall to reference material, unavoidable, I suppose), but I like bits of it, so I'm posting it. At least I finished it. 16 x 12 inches. Watercolour- pen.

About the Artist
Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
