Doing a jigsaw


Okay, not too much going on here in Brive chez Raffiers' appart from -

Been playing with our nephews Leo and Louis (who are NOISY like all 3 and 5 year olds, but very sweet)

I finished watching season 1 of Alias (enjoyed it)

I'm reading the Secret History by Donna Tart (nasty selfish characters everyone of them)

I'm doing a jigsaw by Veronese (see pic)

It's called the Wedding Feast at Canna, and I love it coz Jesus in the middle is the only one who's looking straight at whoever is looking at the painting.
Info about it from the Louvre -

Though the painting is supposed to depict events in the ancient town of Cana, it is painted in a Renaissance style, with Doric and Corinthian columns surrounding an open courtyard. There are more than 130 figures in the picture. The centre of the painting is dominated by a blue, open sky, important because it opened up the room where the painting was originally hung.

WHy not do a wee jigsaw?
