I’ve been working on this painting for several weeks now. It’s the most complex painting I’ve attempted, because of the number of figures involved and so many of them are people I know personally, so I want to try and represent them pretty well. There’s a lot of work left to do on it, obviously.

Thank you Robin, that’s pretty much the feeling I want to achieve with this painting. I am a huge fan of the Impressionists and Renoir was my first “art love”. His paintings, especially his paintings of people at leisure, are among my all-time favourites.
Reminds me of “The Boating Party” with motorcycles implied.
