Nice work, good use of technique compared to the original. Maaaaaybe the bird is a bit too detailed already, but that's very nitpicking. Good luck!

@moderator

A portrait may contain multiple persons, but any painting that has multiple persons is not necessarily a portrait. That's been my point all along.

Also my intention is not to get this entry removed. If it were, I would've red flagged this entry and not moan in the comments. All I am trying to understand here is why this entry is being considered a 'portrait' when that word has a very specific meaning when it comes to paintings. Can someone please enlighten me?

P.S: Please do not reply back saying that a portrait may have more than one person. I'm very much aware of that.

all the best to u author ........... its a beautiful entry .........

We'll allow this entry, a portrait can also contain multiple persons.

very nice

@author

Yes, I agree. However the people in the group portraits stare at the artist who's painting them. In the modern culture the person(s) in the picture must stare at the camera if we want to call that picture a portrait (group or not doesn't matter).

Let me put it this way. What would you call a painting or a photograph which has a group of people just moving along a busy road minding their own business unaware of the painter/photographer? A portrait or just a painting? I for certain know what I *wouldn't* call it.

At the risk of sounding as a 'language lawyer' I just want to let the author know that the word 'Portrait' in the English language (http://www.reference.com/browse/portrait) is very much tied to one person if not just the facial portion of the said one person. I'm not so sure what's left for interpretation here.

The portrait part is kind of hard...though I think it works. But viewing side by side, I do see the changes, how you replaced the people etc. very subtle, and lovely rendition! I actually like, that I had to look for the changes.

you made me go look for the donuts. :P what about the banana a top them? :lol:

i love this one. this makes me feel like "real" people live here. and take pictures here.

i agree with ushurani about the portrait, and would also like to know how this painting was changed, for now it seems to be just a remake

Sorry to say this author but the goal is to find a painted portrait and replace a part of it with something else that would fit there.To my knowledge this is not a painted portrait .

Great work

Great job!

Excellent work.

At first glance this looks like an image of a "house" from a magazine but upon closer inspection I find lots of elements of a "home". The envelope, the donuts and dish cloth, the shoes... all the details that give it a warm and welcoming feel.

Nice construction! I don't have the talent for that. GL!

very pretty
