Wow! it's really nice!

The most artistic thing I can do is to make comics!

Hi Andy,

Very interesting article. I just found the pics this morning and was blown away!

Sunday in the Park is one of my favorite paintings.

Hi Ruben,

I love your comic! By the way... my iPod Shuffle IS green... well as soon as I put the skin on it. It is also red, gold and blue.

I have seen this before, it is always nice to see again.

Hello Elly,

I LOVE these pictures. Today was the first time for me.

Isn't it cool? In California, somewhere, they have an Art Fair where people pose as many paintings, in costume, scenery and all! They are all in a box that is framed just as the painting is. You would love it!

A lot of work is involved and all volunteers do it.

I wonder if someone has posted pix of that event! Or at the very least, I would like to know when and where so I can go there!

I remember it was from one of those art colony towns...

momable # 13. August 2008, 17:21

Tried to search for it for you, no result yet...

Amazing!
I love the painting too and now the photo........

Brilliant! I love the first one for its setting and the way the camera seems to have captured everyone in a most natural stance, and also because it reminds me of the Serpentine Lake at Hyde Park in London.

I like the painted scene too. I wish its colors were more emphasised, but placed next to the photographic scene it shows a clear contrast and seems to be a "time past" representation of the scene caught by the camera lens.

When I first spotted this online, I spent several minutes comparing the two images. George Suerat is a personal favorite... I have a reproduction of that piece in my apartment, so the two images were particularly fascinating for me.

I admit I don't know George Suerat (how could this be? - for shame on me!). I must google his name and learn more.

First of all, I spelled it wrong. It is Seurat... Georges Seurat. And there was a Broadway Play titled "Sunday in the Park with George," that was based on his life and centered around his painting the great masterpiece pictured here... A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.
