Thanks, Paul. I've not been able to find a date on it. There is a backing attached to the frame which I've never removed. So who knows what's on the back of the canvas? To my uneducated eye it looks as if quite a bit of the paint was applied with a knife, if that helps at all. >> >> <http://picasaweb.google.com/sdloveless/Paintings/photo?authkey=E3lck7Uhzo0#5210 >> 627485032516322> -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
