First, I want to say that the photo above is of my own painting of Rousseau's "Sleeping Gypsy" - the amazing (and obviously so much better!!) original can be seen here: http://www.abcgallery.com/R/rousseau/rousseau2.htmlIt's huge and takes up a lot of my wall!
I was watching The Office last night (not on tv) and saw The Fire episode, where the employees gather around in the parking lot and discuss various fun topics while waiting for a fire to be investigated... one of the topics was Desert Island.
So - here's one: if you were stranded on a desert island, what painting would you take with you? I would take Henri Rousseau's "Sleeping Gypsy"... in fact I like it so much I painted it 2 yrs ago (above photo)! It's not all that much like the original, but I can't afford a nice print of the original painting!
For all you Etsyians, is there an Etsy painting you would take? I would take this one:
