Hi  George

Thanks for    that  mother  and     child   bottle  .

I agree  that    there is   something "strange"  about  it , but I can't say  exactly   what

It seems   somehow   artificial  and  lacks the   vibrancy  of   real  inside painting

The    tiny  white  dots  are also   suspicious

I  proved conclusively    that my   fake  bottle  was a  fake  by  scratching   it   inside   with a  needle  :  the  yellow     photo   film   flaked off

But  as I wrote  before I only  needed to    take a  macro  lens   close  up  of a   small  part   of the   picture  and    blow  it   up ( i.e. enlarge  it )   in  my   computer  to  about  20 X     The   picture   then     became   sort  of  fuzzy  with no  defined  edges  - rather  like  if  you    examine a   low  quality   color  pic   a  newspaper  and  can  see  the   tiny dots

Mind you -  I  have often  had to  blow  up  some   the  pics of some  of my best bottles  many times   to   see  the   exquisite  tiny   strokes  clearly :  they  are   certainly    visible  to the  naked  eye, nor  even  with  a 10X magnifying  glass .

I wish I knew   who  is    turning  out  this  kind of  junk  !

Cheers

Peter
