To cut a long story short yesterday I went to a house to look at and maybe purchase a velvet painting. Then the guy showed me a section wall from a bar in Tahiti where Leeteg once drank. He couldnt pay his bill so the guy got him to paint a lady ( called Mau Lili ) and Moorea on the wall its 4m x4m. Signed Leeteg and in great condition. Have you got any thoughts on what I should do with it?

From the story you told, it may have come from Quinn's bar where Leeteg hung out (see link below). http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=36802&forum=5&hilite=quinn's DC

I got it for maybe $15 at an estate sale 10 to 12 years ago in Scottsdale AZ. Had a lamp attached to it and i discarded it. I though it would mess up the painting due to the heat in the lamp but then realized that it was how it supposed to be.
