You folks have some real good taste in art. I'm diggin' all the art that's been posted. SS, check out the Smithsonian Galleries, they have repros of Tooker's "lanterns" for sale. Later today, I'll look up the link and post it if I can. Great post (as they all were). mbonga, as much Elvgren (spelled with an (e), you're right) as I've seen, I had never seen that one—it's great! Cool Manchu, I've never seeen that particular Vargas and it's kill'in me! It's my new Vargas favorite. Stuff-O-Rama, William Bouguereau, thanks for turning me on to him. I'd seen his work before, but didn't know the name. You can buy art for me anytime. Virani, take some pics—let's see. Ikitnrev, can't wait to see your collection.

Again, what great work you folks have posted. Keep it coming!

Sneaky, mid-century is what got me into tiki, I'd like to see a thread with some pics of your home and furniture and we could check out other folks mid-century collections and homes as well. Love that stuff.

Here's the link to the Tooker repro's: http://www.omnifineart.com/Prod/index.asp?fuseaction=viewdetail&sku=233&frameType=none&rotateframe=1
There are three other Tooker's there as well.

And here is another work that I've alway's really liked

Charles Demuth, The Figure 5 in Gold
