LARGE PICTURES MONSTERS AND OTHER THINGS.............

One of the largest pictures I have ever bought is finally about to get to the shop, a wonderful landscape in an amazing gilt frame,


Including the frame you need a pretty large room 6'7" high by a massive 11'9" wide or as we in Europe say 202 x 343 cm!
Paintings seem to be what I am buying at the moment soon to come are a couple of wonderful 19th century canvases one of a vegetarians nightmare,  the other of a magpie eating a camembert cheese

 


All of these paintings will be added to JULIA BOSTON  soon



In the meantime I have added a series of monsters to the 
children's name picture characters, brightly coloured and fun for kids they have joined the mice, clowns and dogs....


The new monster department.............
