Can't post the image right now but I loved one painting so much my (now) wife bought a recreation online for me. "Ein Forsterheim" depicts a German or Austrian man relaxing with pipe after a long day in the field

I like the guy in the brown coat with the pipe and standard.

If these were in a coffee table book I might actually open the book and enjoy the art instead of having a book just being expensive coasters for my coffee. Think Kevin could get the copyright releases for it?
