Oh boy!...is all I can say. Can you imagine how long it

took to paint this? I have been working on it off and on

for weeks. I must have covered the entire canvas 6 -8 times

working all of the details and layers of glazes. I so wish that

photos on the net would do this justice but they don't.

Click on the photos and you will see a larger view.

There are 35 or maybe it's 36 elements in this painting.

I lost count. These are some of my favorite antiques. When

we were in the art and antique restoration business, we restored

many of these antiques. I used many of the photos I had from

the antiques we restored as reference for this piece. It

is not likely that you would find a Renoir or a da Vinci in

an antique shop but you may find a print. I just thought

they looked great with all the other elements and are two

of my favorites from those artists. My favorite element is

the little yellow bottle on the front table. It is my personal

bottle from my collection. The label reads " Dreams" and

I always leave the top off.

I love antique shops and when I visit them I always

wonder where these treasures traveled from. If they

could only talk! Enjoy!
