| A closer
look at parts of the piece follow. The statue I introduced into
the painting you might recognize as a piece of sculpture by Etienne
Maurice Falconet that sits in the Louvre. It was done in 1757
and is titled 'La Baigneuse'
The bird is a Roseate
Spoonbill, one of my favorite birds to paint (and yes they really
are that color). |
