She made this back in 1985. When I told her earlier that it my favorite painting she had done, she told me I could have it. I just thought I would share.

Sorry man, it isn't for sale, I've been admiring this thing for years and wasn't even asking for it, but she just offered it and I couldn't refuse. It's something I'd like to keep to remember her, she's not exactly young anymore ya know? I just thought you guys might appreciate it.

Dude, I was completely joking. It's a great piece and you are lucky to be able to one day pass it on to someone in your family. My grandmother sewed incredible quilts, and she gifted a few to me. Can't slap a price tag on some things. She got the Tiger right, nice painting.

I kinda thought you were joking, I'm not sure why I replied so seriously.

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.

I had to look for it online because I knew i had seen that picture before. I think its from the 80s. Maybe you have the original.
