That's a large 7' x 3.5' oil painting called "Women at the River" done in the late 1960s by my deceased father.
It hangs in my dining room staring down the dining room table at a painting the exact same size done my myself, a connection between father and son.
I like it

I edited. Read again.
And thank you. Wish you could see it in person.

A family friend is pretty big into it. He has 3 or 4 original Warhol's, but they're not that great IMO. He has some other painting that's world famous, but I forget the artist(I want to say Matisse for some reason.) His house is like a museum and everytime I go he has different stuff. Except for the Warhol ones.
fricking damn!

If you aren't an OT baller, oil reproductions can be pretty affordable if you know a place to get them stretched/framed on the cheap.

I'm a few months away from finishing a very large painting of Hendo inciting the Auburn crowd, except in my picture there's only three people: Hendo (from behind waving his jersey), a guy lunging at Hendo flipping the double bird, and the black guy in the white shirt with the devilish smile.
The title of the painting?
Holy Trinity

If you haven't already and you're in the St. Pete/Tampa area I highly recommend the Dali Museum there. They have The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory and the Hallucinogenic Toreador. As well as his earlier works that encompassed several different styles. He really was a mad genius.
My favorites...
After the Bath, Woman Drying Her Nape - Edgar Degas, 1885
The Girl with a Pearl Earring - Johannes Vermeer, 1665
In Bed The Kiss - Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1892
The Two Fridas - Frida Kahlo, 1939
Red Canna - Georgia O'Keeffe, 1924

These are all awesome. I love that Nighthawks picture. I actually have lithos of the Van Gogh pics here. I got them from the British national Museum of Art a few years ago when i was in London on business.

One of my favorite computer games used that as an inspiration for its opening cutscene, I remember being blown away by it. Great painting.
