Hello Donna,

For future reference , could you put photos on seperate postings , so there is less chance for restorers to miss them.

                                   Cheers 

                                                :) Jim

'Scuse me for butting in,

These restore are brilliant as always.  I must be getting old though.

I thought that Grampa was her Son!  So I had to read it all again!  What a lovely lad he looks so young!  May I inquire how old he was?

Thanks TT , I must admit , I was pleasedd with the outcome.  ;)

I like the choice of colours in your one too.

What to you think of the backdrop in the picture ? The window looks all out of perspective  :-\

I painted the backwall - doesn't seem to be a backdrop but a painting straight on the wall :-\

Here's a variation of my one.   ;D

Post by: Treetotal on Wednesday 09 January 08 16:59 GMT (UK)

Thanks Jim....Yes I agree with you both....it's just a painted backdrop and not very convincing...Nice one Jenny and a nice variation Jim....I think the photo would look better without the window...but then it wouldn't be authentic would it ::)

I like the window, but I don't like the floorline which doesn't follow it.... um, if you follow me.
I think that's what's wrong. If someone, come on, I know you're smart enough, can bring the line of the wall across the same as the window it would look a lot more real.
