I've had it a year or so now so no doubt it has been superseded several times since then. Nick has an older version which is just as good and bought this for me because I was jealous !!<br />Hope this helps.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-52581890747161519992011-03-18T15:34:10.443+00:002011-03-18T15:34:10.443+00:00Hi Jean

Any ideas for you or your followers!<br /><br />SteveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956729124220983371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-6516509660525882642011-03-10T20:39:10.396+00:002011-03-10T20:39:10.396+00:00Loved the lady in the painting, and although the f...Loved the lady in the painting, and although the frame does look rather heavy for her, I think I would probably keep it framing her, just because it was there in the first place.

There was I think a piece of music I used to play on the accordion called that. I wonder why she is playing the tambourine and what is on her lap... surely not a harmonica? Perhaps she is bored by her embroidery and is wistful for her absent lover..........SweetpeainFrancehttp://villagedevaux.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-43299809742458205082011-03-06T15:23:53.387+00:002011-03-06T15:23:53.387+00:00I would think the oil is of more value than the wa...I would think the oil is of more value than the watercolour...only by virtue of the fact it is a watercolour. It certainly isn't a poor oil painting. I would be tempted to distress the frame (wire brush or sandpaper) and use some warm stains or wax on it.<br /><br />Lucky you!Ken Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659672111856249878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-12473573650930219242011-03-06T10:55:27.598+00:002011-03-06T10:55:27.598+00:00Lucky old you!
