I thought this one was finished, but after setting it aside, I could see it still needed subtle touchups. So here it is.

On my list.

3/
on Titian, in his 'Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe'.

Anyway, any homage wasn't my first priority at all. But knowing there were precedents, and working knowing of them, brought more intensity to creating the piece. To consciously sharpen it into a new thing around respect for the originals.

2/
Then I thought, "Oh No! Caillebotte's 'Floor Scrapers'!".

So I hesitated, and had to think about it a while. I figured Caillebotte would have known of the Millet, I knew about both of 'em.
So, I'd be in good stead doing an update on aspects of the classics - like Manet did with his acidic riff

New painting, finally finished.

"Hard to believe I get to spend so much time with these incredible beings. On this day, they were especially magical, so much so that even nature seemed to get a little jealous and painted a rainbow across the sky to join the moment."

Oh, the tension in that rosary!
The artist was living and painting in Agentina; this a work from that period.

This was a gift from the artist, for some 'reading/vetting' I did for one of his projects.

Painting by Pablo Picasso titled “La Femme-Fleur” (1946), depicting a stylized female figure as a flower, composed of abstract geometric shapes; the face appears between two large green leaves at the top, with the body suggested by stems and circular and triangular forms in shades of blue on a pale beige background.
