LUNCHEON OF THE BOATING PARTY

I copied this drawing from the 1881 painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It's called Luncheon of the Boating Party and I've always liked it because if you look carefully you'll notice that
there's some funny business going on with this group of friends. None of them can hold the attention of the people they're talking to because the people they're talking to are preoccupied by other members of the group.
It might just be possible that children are reading this so let's just say there's a bit of 'friend' swapping going on and leave it at that. Quite how the little black dog is involved I have no idea but he's better off out of it.
