I have to say I am not a huge fan of Botero's - I have seen his work in person - it is fascinating, though, and well done, but just not my cup of tea. I love what you have done here, though - you have a wonderful sense of the ironic.
Hey Karen,
I am about like you with Botero's work... some I like and some....o.k.
However, I do like this sculpture and thought it would make a fun idea. Glad you caught the concept!! Have a great day!
This painting made me smile! Love the juxtaposition of the two couples!
I really like the way you painted the figures of the viewers. Very simple style and very appealing.
Hi Virginia,
SMILES are a big thing for me!!!!!!!
