In Jane Austen’s novel “Emma” at the Box Hill picnic which turned out to be a sore disappointment, Frank Churchill said to Emma: "Our companions are excessively stupid. What shall we do to rouse them? Any nonsense will serve..

“Abstract…The Picnic”, is a tribute to Manet’s “Le déjeuner sur l’herbe”

    Janis this one kinda dances between the surreal and the abstract. It cries out enjoy the color, if it was about the fruit I would have focused on the fruit. Very beautiful Janis.

  • That’s exactly what I wanted to convey Jim..thanks so much..
