And you are a fabulous MODERN artist, by the way.

Incidentally the 'painting' took me ten minutes with Cel Draw and Photopaint..if that.

I understand what you mean, but it depends on the picture. Look at the Gainsborough example above. I couldn't give a teeny rat's arse about Mr & Mrs Andrews - they look like a right pair of dishcloths. However, Hogarth's Shrimp Girl looks full of life and I'd like to go to the pub with her.
His characters have so much humour about them, like The Bench.
