The Lisa

This is "The Lisa."  I loved painting the fabric.  The Lisa is a big painting, 2 meters wide.  You can see the painting in progress in the second picture (that's me, taking a coffee break), and some details of the painting in the close-up images below that.  The painting is done by palette knife.  This may be my favorite painting of the year.
