This is a remake of the painting by Manet

Cheers,

Excellent work! Saw this painting in 1966, shows how old I am.

Thanks! I can see it needs work but can’t quite work out what, so this is about as good as it gets for now.

I only discovered it last year, I hadn’t realised until after I already had a copy on my wall all of the interesting details behind it - like the perspective of the reflection making no sense other than artistically, that there’s a trapeze act going on and absolutely noone is watching it, that it’s the earliest example of product placement (bass beer with the trademarked red triangle logo). Fascinating stuff.

Cheers,

Tom
