Mrs and Mrs Clark meet the Arnolfinis

Michael McLellan painting
This is one of my Dad's favourite paintings. His mashup homage to David Hockney's Mr And Mrs Clark And Percy (1970) and Jan van Eyck's The Arnolfini Portrait.

This is what Wikipedia says about Mr And Mrs Clark And Percy:

Hockney drew on both The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck and A Rake's Progress by William Hogarth in the symbolism and composition of the painting. A copy of Hockney's own interpretation of the The Rake's Progress is seen on the wall.

This is what I say about Dad's painting:

Michael drew on both Mr And Mrs Clark And Percy by Hockney and The Arnolfini Portrait by Jan van Eyck in the symbolism and composition of the painting. A copy of Michael's own interpretation of the The Arnolfini Portrait is seen on the wall.
