  Richard Johnson - "Brocade"

Brocade Featured Artwork  

About "Brocade" - "The inspiration for this painting was this beautiful antique, mandarin jacket made from an exquisite golden and black brocade. It took me awhile to use this piece of clothing because it was so intricate.

Are the bevels in your mats brown or discolored?  Bring it in for a free inspection or we make house calls.
