        My nephew Jack and his friend Jenika, in a pose borrowed from Renoir's Dance paintings (Dance
        in the Country, to be specific), while the background is from Dance in the City. The statue in the
        top corner is a Venus figure I found online. It's the first life-sized figure painting I've done since
        The White Dress early last year, which you can see elsewhere on the site.
