Finished
Oh. My. Goodness.
It's breathtaking. Seriously. It's not exactly like the original, but I wouldn't want it to be. Instead of a black dress, she's wearing a beautiful dark blue...there is more black and purple in the painting and the couch is not nearly as gold.
I keep going out to look at it. I cannot believe it's going to hang in MY bedroom.
I'm very particular about what art work I have. I'd rather have empty walls than have something out that I don't enjoy. I've not had any type of artwork in my bedroom since my divorce. 13 years now. Yes, I'm that particular.
A few years ago, (holy cow...I've been up north THAT long?) I asked y'all for ideas. And you had some good ones. (well, except for T1G and his leering clowns) But this? This is so much more than I ever even considered.
I wish I had the cables here so I could download pictures and show you how beautiful it is. But on the other hand, I'm thinkin' it would be even better if I show you how it looks in the finished space. It's just gonna take a while to get it all pulled together.
Meanwhile, I just need to figure out how we want to go about getting it back to Paradise. I've got a bit of a plan, just need to figure out if it's the BEST way.
But ohhh, did it turn out perfect. I couldn't *BE* more pleased......
Did he at least change the dude to a clown?

My m-i-l paints, and she has done some 'copies' for folks that I think are better than the original. But T1G, one of her best has been a nude copied from a renown photographer...very classy though.
