Great image, Ann. I love the way the person looking at the art reflects the art. I like the previous image, with just the one person, even better. more resonance between art and life. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 12:31 AM, Ann Sanfedele

Thanks Jack, Bob and Dan glad you enjoyed! Dan - My friend who went to the museum with me coudln't decide which she liked best.. I (obviously) lean toward the one I showed in the PESO... kinda like the context and the posture of the woman for the life imitates art effect being a bit closer...

That's lovely Ann. The person in the hat looking at the picture of a person in a hat makes it for me. A dear old friend who died last year named his house "Lautrec". Because it had two loos. Corny I know, but he had the bare faced cheek to get away with it. Chris On 4 December 2014 at 05:31, Ann
