It's a good picture, but doesn't even come close to representing how wonderful that painting is! I found myself just mesmerized by it. First of all, it's huge, probably 4'x3'. As i was standing there examining the details, Liam did a bit of explaining which really enhanced my enjoyment of the picture. He painted it after Terry passed away, and did some crackling around Terry which doesn't appear anywhere else. Then he put a subtle black line seperating Terry from the rest of the group. I noticed that both of Terry's guitars are with him and Gords are not.
I think Liam captured beautifully the angle of both Terry and Rick's heads, something we've all seen dozens of times. And even the red velvet jacket works.....Again, I don't know when I've been captured by a piece of art as much as I was by this. Liam said he's looking at having prints made, just hope that comes to pass.
