This is one of the first illustrations model Desiré Lesert ( pronounced La-sair) appeared in commercially. If you ever get to Biltmore Estate in Ashville, North Carolina... try the bread. :)

I will never be in the mood to paint another of these. I believe the owner of the original would part with it for double what they paid --but I could be mistaken .

I myself would rather paint something new. If you like this style, forget about owning this particular original and let us use our combined imagination.

Could be fun.
