Binger's the man! I love this portrait, absolutely gorgeous. Brian, is it painted on a naturally colored brown board, or is the brownish background actually paint?

Thanks, I really love this one too. It was the first thing I hung up when we moved into the new house. Even when my wife's parent's came to visit from Japan her dad pointed it and said that it was his perfect woman (in japanese...). I have a feeling that the board has browned through the years. It's nothing like that on the paperback cover. I've looked with a magnafier and it's hard to say. It's spotty all through the brown so hard to tell if it was done on purpose. It doesn't look bad and it makes the colors pop out even more.

Maybe he painted a very light wash on the board first and through the years the board has changed underneath giving it those textures?

Yeah, I don't know. It's so intriguing though. Is the frame open at the back, or covered? Just wonder if you've seen the back ofthe board and know whether it's a standard Bainbridge type illustration board. Oh, and I'm thrilled to hear your father-in-law has such great taste! Though on further reflection, I have to say that both of my Chinese in-laws were also very impressed when they first came over and saw all the paintings covering the walls, especially my mother-in-law. Over the years, every now and then when she'd visit, she'd comment again about how "very nice, very nice" it is!

i have not seen the back of it in five years so i forgot. it's large and not easy to just pull off. it never had glass and i have always wanted to get museum glass put on it but really like the frame it came in so don't think i can do that with this frame. that's great that you in-laws appreciate your art. some people don't get it or more that they don't understand that it's the original painting for something published and not a poster.
