re: Check out this amazing LSU painting my Grandma gave to me today

How old is that? I'm just asking because while she never implied that it was an original painting, I had never seen it any where else and assumed it was. Not that it bother's me that it's not, but now I'm curious about the origin of it. Like I said she painted it in 85, so the image is at least that old. She's been a prominent artist and married to an important member of the LSU community for decades, so now I really want to know more about it. I should ask her about it tomorrow if no one here knows, because she probably does.

Early 80's I'd say...my dad had this poster framed on his wall for years. The one you've got looks like a fine reproduction of this really well known image from the time. Looks like she simply used it as a guide and painted her own version...very neat.

If she's the original artist, then at some point she altered the design to either what you have or what ended up being the final design for the poster.
