Happy Birthday, Gustav...

I'll never forget the day I stood before Gustav Klimt's famous portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer at the Neue Galerie in NYC....Years ago I wrote about that moment  where I shared one of my Klimt Inspired paintings,  'All My Love'. His work has been a mainstay influence in my work for years ~ Often, direct inspiration for a painting and other times, quiet Klimt-esque elements that subtly find their way into my art. In honor of what would have been Klimt's 150th Birthday, I'm happy to post another special painting titled,  'Fulfillment', directly influenced by Klimt and which has become one of my best selling ketubah and print designs.   Happy Birthday, old man...I'm most grateful for your sweet inspiration ~
