Reya: Yes. It is a watercolor of autumn leaves done by a Cape Cod artist who was original trained in medical art. You can't see it, but the leaves are highly detailed down to the tiniest vein. I purchased it with that gold frame and left it in a dark room until I could get to my framer who does museum quality work and has an artist eye himself (degree'd in art). I chose the frame resting on the painting. It's from Germany, and the framer told me he rarely gets to use it because of it's nature, which is to say it only suits very specific work. The minute we set it on the picture we both looked up and said, "That's it." I'm also using a glass with two special properties: protects the work from any light damage and non-reflective (and therein lies the true cost).

Apropos of nothing, I thought you might like to know that I found your theme song on YouTube:

Enjoy.
Is this a piece of your work that you're having framed?
Cube I'm so happy that you're finding the time and energy to post again. It's a good portent for 2007!
Hammer: Thankies. I love it. :D

Cube, you are like the coolest person ever. When it's time for me to choose a new piece of art, I'm contacting you!
MA: I think I sound like a dork.
But dorks have the best stuff.
