It Has Come To My AttentionIt has come to my attention
that people like me

Why do I do things in blue? Why? I know my scanner can't handle it, and I go...and...do...it...anyway.

With silver leaf, just to really twist the reproduction knife. I feel like I should bring in an expert witness to say "No, really, it does look better in person."

Ah, well. Another Klimt style rooster, this time in blue and silver. Original is 6 x 18 on cradled gessoboard, ready to hang, and for sale. (I'd probably offer a price break if somebody wanted to buy the pair together...) Prints are also available for $10 and $20 plus shipping--send a note or visit [link] for details!

I would love to see this in person, Ursula! Try taking a photo with a lot of diffused lighting, and the camera on a tripod. Should come out much more true-to-life than a scanner.

It's really good, it's shame the leaf doesn't come through well I love Klimt and the series you've been doing, I hope you find a way to show the leaf :)
