This is an pattern I made from a painting at St. Catherines Monastary in Egypt. Portrait is 7.25"x10" on 1/4" red oak. Backing is brown leather.

That's stunning Kevin! Great job of seeing the potential in something special. I'm sure the brown leather as a backer makes it even more visually appealing in person. Good on 'ya!!

Nice work, brown leather background is good thinking. Playing with different backgrounds sure can add lots to the overall look.

Nice piece. Leather is an interesting background. Is it natural or dyed?
