Very fine work - there is great benefit in copying works from the old masters isn't there

I haven't seen the original Mike, but your panting is beautiful.

Sorry Mike....that should read painting, of course.Lol!!!

Thanks Tom - only of benefit (in the long term anyway) as long as you write your own signature rather than the originator's of course! Hope it had some viewers "panting" anyway Fiona! Thanks. This is one link to the original if you're interested in finding out a little more about the sitter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fran%C3%A7ois_Boucher_026.jpg

Oil on board 405 mm x 510 mm 2011 Francois Boucher (1703 - 1770) was a French Rococo painter well known for his paintings of voluptuous females. Reclining Girl was painted in 1752, and can be seen in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. There is another work by the artist featuring this girl in a similar pose painted a year earlier, which is in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne.
