This is just a cell phone photo of my latest painting for the vet clinic. It's based of of Manet's A Bar at the Folies Bergeres. Of course, I had to make it A Bear at the Folies Bergeres. Nothing else would do!

Nice, please post back with the next images - I'm just about to start a different tack of painting waterscapes, so I'm interested to see where this goes. (It looks like a waterfall altar thing to me, but sorry if I've completely misinterpreted.)

Seeing as it's Folies Be(a)rgeres that would be a bar counter (a bear counter!? sorry couldn't resist) and a mirror, behind a bear whom I think will be wearing a nice little dress... :) No waterfalls included, I suspect. Though I see how one can interpret the bluish counter as water not knowing the subject.

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.

I've done more work on it now, hopefully the marble bar looks less like a waterfall at this point (yes, I see it too. lol)

Thanks, Kaz! I'm really having fun on this one. It seemed overwhelming at first, but ... one bottle at a time... it's easier. Kind of like cleaning the house. ;)

And to be honest, i'm surprised you can paint after emptying all those wine bottles,... For reference obviously :D

Evilrobot, that's the thing I miss the most when I work traditional.... no ctrl z!

Kaz and Charlotte, of course I had to have real references. It would be less than authentic otherwise! (no absinthe for me though)
