Still Life With Fruit, Game, Vegetables and Live Monkey, Squirrel and a Cat (circa 1637)
Artist: Frans Snyders
Apparently the fruits and animals have symbolic meaning, eg. the monkey represents evil
I chose this painting because it just looks bizarre (and I like a challenge!)

Reminds me of the Restaurant Scenes from the movie Orlando, whoo hooo
Haven't seen that one, but Babette's Feast came to mind!
The Cook the thief his wife and her lover LOL (Orlando is more of a Twilda Swinton vehicle) LOL

Fabulous work, author! And what a sleuth to find all those images and still get the final piece done in time.

o.o; your title is wrong.. thats a monkey next to a mototbike LOL hes not on it :P nice idea good work on the speed adjustement to the image
woww, first good comment of Eladine to my entryes :P hahah..thanks
yeah yeah i know got a reputation of being picky n always having critic.. but I am not trying to demotivate people :P and if it helps my critic is not based on whoever makes the image so please dont take it personal. I hope my critic does help though, its not meant to put someones work down but trying to help improve it. I do have 2 small suggestions, next time try look for a monkey without a branch in his mouth and flip one of the boots, hes got two left feet now :P
Thanks Eladine..Changes maked...I think this is better now..
yes looks better without the branch in his mouth
i dont know , u should ask monkey for that :P ahahahah....
