Sad to see my David Lee go.



Just sold my David Lee painting on silk. A very unique painting as the artist painted both on the inner canvas layer and on the outer silk layer. The effect was a 3D translucent look and I will miss this beautiful work of art that I had since 1986.

Anyway, it is on its way to San Diego for another family to enjoy.
