That you find this piece strong is heartening -- I've been off my 'production game' the past two months and felt in a slump. Still do.<br /><br />As always, I play 'off' your prompt and substitute an image somehow close. Several were rococo paintings or simply bad contemporary ones.<br /><br />This was labeled Cedar Tavern 1953, and I assumed some of the faces were notable 'Pollock-era' artists.
