A Spider I Don't Mind
I love the work of Jack Vettriano. I have his print "The Singing Butler" hanging in my sun porch and I really love sitting out there looking at it.
LeeAnn and her DH share my love of this artist. In fact, when I was over there this past Thursday, they gifted me with a book of his work. I cannot tell you how often I've already looked through it.
I shared it with Cuz's SO. He's a very gifted artist and we often discuss what works we particularly enjoy.
Well, there is one in that book that I just love. It's called "Along Came A Spider" and there is just something about it that......get's to me. I mentioned that I'd *LOVE* to have that hanging in my bedroom.
Last night when we came home from the wedding he had a surprise for us. He's reproducing it for me. On a large canvass.
Wow.
Wow. It's amazing. Just amazing. Somehow he's captured what I loved most about that print and put a bit of himself in it. It's still a work in progress, but I continue to go out to watch him. I love being able to witness that whole creative process.
Unfortunately I do not have the connectors with me so I can't upload any photo's but I'll most certainly share the finished, framed, product when I get home.
Meanwhile.....here's the original.
