  4. You have really great close-ups! It tells a lot about Bouguereau's painting methods. Thanks a lot!

    I'm currently in a discussion about Bouguereau's painting techniques on a forum and would like to use some of you photographs for explaining some of my ideas about it. Is it ok with you if I post some of your pictures there as an illustration?

    Thanks in advance for your reply!
