Today at the Alameda Antique Fair I found this beauty. It's an original velvet painting by Charles McPhee from 1961, signed and dated. I didn't know about him prior today, but I guess he lived a good long life (1910-2002) and was taught how to paint on velvet by Leeteg. I liked it right off the bat, but my girlfriend felt it was creepy...I walked away, but something in my gut told me to go back and barter a bit. It ended up costing me $90 and I think it was worth every penny.
