This is my RIP of Tina Marie Ferguson's "Klimt's Blue Jessie" for the 2009 Ripped Off contest. Tina said "this piece is inspired by the art of Gustav Klimt and the dog is after Rodrigue's Blue Dog, but it is a portrait of my deceased Eskimo Spitz, Jessie, so is much more hairy." So basically this is my rip of her rip and is of my deceased kitty Wilbur...a fitting tribute! This piece was a lot of fun for me...loved all the color and randomness involved!
