@bijouxbroussard It’s beautiful. I’d love to go to Paris someday and immerse myself in museums and architecture. Renoir was on record that he much preferred painting flowers and still life over people. I’d love to see the detail and technique he used for the flowers on the piano.

The Sirens and Ulysees (1837) by William Etty
The Sirens and Ulysses is a large oil painting on canvas by the English artist William Etty, first exhibited in 1837. It depicts the scene from Homer's Odyssey in which Ulysses (Odysseus) resists the bewitching song of the sirens by having his ship's crew tie him up, while they are ordered to block their own ears to prevent themselves from hearing the song.
