Very beautiful painting.
Update: July 2009-I am back now to make invisible and tranparent recolors again in sims 2. You can pm me if you want your objects to be invisible and transparent from now.

I've been greatly enjoying your Paintings series. The attention to detail is wonderful. Thank you for making these! I look forward to seeing what else you have planned for the series.

So, I think we can safely guess you are a history/art history buff and a very knowledgeable one at that. Your series is simply wonderful, thank you so much for sharing it with us and for the little historical informative blurbs that go with them. I have loved the Blue Boy and Pinky paintings since I was a little girl. My grandparents' friends were this elderly Irish couple and they had a vast collection of Blue Boy and Pinky reproductions, plates, figurines, you name it. No wonder I became enamoured of them.

I was surfing thru your profile and I must say that I was surprised at finding this kind of inspiration source -here- of all places..! *s* But I was very pleased, just the same. You see, "Blue Boy"s twin is hanging on my wall (a copy, of course!); "Red Boy".

There is this story, I don't know if it's true of not, that says that Thomas Gainsborough and an other artist, Thomas Lawrence, placed a bet; Thomas G. challanged his collegue Thomas L. to draw a picture of a boy in red, but making the picture feel cold (there in lies the challange), while he him slef would draw a picture of a boy in blue, making it feel warm. Alas, "Blue Boy". *taadaa!*
Here's a site where you can find the image. It's not great, but it was the best I could do; just scroll down a bit and click it: http://www.meibohmfinearts.com/ebay.aspx
Maybe you already knew, but what the heck..!

Couldn't you make "Red Boy" too? It would at least make me very happy! =)

I was going to send an e-mail to you, but it didn't work(?), so I hope you check your site from time to time... =)
