Message:: [QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 822629, member: 78"]Hi,  Back in the 1970s I started to take prints and covered them with acrylics using tiny brush strokes. They looked like paintings and I used a lot of magazine covers also. Once popped into antique frames from a distance they looked "real". When I first moved in to my retirement village I was introduced to one of "old timers" who lived here. She was showing us around her house and I saw a picture that looked so familiar. I asked her about it and she said her husband bought it for her for a anniversary. I asked if I could see the back and I told her I think you will see my initials and the year 74. As she took it down and turned it over there was my three initials and the number 74. I explained what had happened. The woman was so astonished that I knew about it. She had always thought it was from 1874 due to the antique frame. We had a really good laugh about it all. It was a print from Denmark showing two Victorian women walking on a beach in long white dresses. We had a long laugh about it and are still friends today. I hope she wills it to me since I really liked the frame and hated selling it.greg[/QUOTE]
