Frenchy:
Watching the collaboration of Ron and Ed, I was reminded of an artist I saw a long time ago, and since you are the 'Google-Meister', I thought I would give you the challenge of finding the painter...
The problem is that I don't remeber his name, but he did portraits done with food items, like fruit and vegetables, and used these to do VERY strange portraits...
I thought it might be useful to Ron to see this guys' work, so I thought I'd ask you, since when it comes to Art, you are the master of finding sites...

Do you remeber seeing this work? I think he was a German artist, but my memory has totally deserted me... :confused:

A very good painter indeed!

Ps For this time Google give me just the images, By hasard I have knowing this guy :)
It's a good training for memory "old" fellow :)
And classical painting is a little hobby ;)

:D 'Old Fellow', huh? :D

Frenchy...I never had a doubt... :tu: :tu: :tu:
Indeed that is the exact painter I was thinking of!
I bow deeply to you, Maestro of the search engine... :cool:
I'll post this link on Rons' WIP thread, and I believe you will have advanced the project greatly...

Merci mon ami!
