Can you see yourself here ? Could be yours....
A new painting for our walls ...maybe for your home? I love her! She is Da Vinci's 'La Scapigliata' - well, just a copy really, but an oil painting nevertheless. Come see for yourself, she is just mesmerising.
Our gorgeous lady is back from her sojourn at Tracey's studio. She is perfect for above the bed - or a conversation starter in your living room..... Ask us about the new discounted for Xmas prices.
