Ive been working on some art
That's wonderful @violinfem 🥳🥳🥳
We all know Leonardo da Vinci. But did you know that he had a bunch of devoted followers?
Marco d'Oggiono (c. 1470–1549) was one of them. We can even call him a chief pupil of Leonardo da Vinci, many of whose works he copied. He was a hard-working artist, but his work has since been criticized by some for paintings that are wanting in vivacity of feeling and purity of drawing, while, in his composition, it has been well said that "intensity of color does duty for intensity of sentiment." He copied Leonardo's Last Supper repeatedly, and one of his best copies is in the possession of the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
Today's picture combines elements of portraiture and allegory while setting the stage for genre painting. The richly dressed female wearing an enigmatic smile is crowned with ivy and holds a bowl of cherries. The meaning is enigmatic: it may allude to marriage but also suggests a connection with sophisticated literary circles.

One of my daughter's favourite things to do when she was growing up was to draw and paint. Here are a couple of efforts when she was 10 years old. One is a self-portrait and the other is of her painting a picture. Notice anything in common between them?
@UKGuy "Notice anything in common between them?"
They are both better than I could manage. 😀
