A totally adequate purchase - nothing outstanding, nothing problematic. Since the original was one of your stock images, I cannot speak to whether this was a clear image, besides which the original was a watercolor, so clarity is not essential to the success of the image. I predict that a larger image would lack clarity. But I'm generally satisfied.

My husband and I had a lovely trip to Paris and southern France last July. While on a bus trip we were able to take a photo of this cafe that we share a name with. Our photo was a little blurry and not good for enlargement. Your wonderful photo now hangs in our own kitchen as a nice reminder of that trip. It is beautiful and of very good quality. We love it. Thank you Mary Flore

Beautiful picture. Grew up on northshore so wanted something from there. Metal picture really shows the colors and picture quality is very clear.

This is one of three pieces that I am adding to my collection. Once I have received the other two pieces I will be happy to provide a photograph of the display. The quality of the art piece is exceptional. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase even more pieces!
Artist's Description
Copyright 2009 RC deWinter ~ All Rights Reserved
This velocipede, a sleek, mid-19th century ancestor of the bicycle, known as a "boneshaker" for its rough ride, sits alongside an unseen antique fire truck in an open shed. The name velocipede comes from the Latin for "fast foot" and was coined in 1818 by a Frenchman, Nicephore Niepce in 1818, although it took almost 40 years for the term to enter into the generic vocabulary. This particular velocipede was likely used by the fire company as a messenger vehicle to spread fire alarms and fetch help. It must have taken some time to learn how to balance on one of these in order to be a proficient rider. This sepia photograph was shot in Mystic, Connecticut in August 2009.
This painting has been FEATURED in too many groups to list.
Thanks to the group hosts for their encouragement and support.

About RC DeWinter
Hello and welcome to my portfolio on Pixels/Fine Art America. One of my major artistic goals, with appropriate images, is to create digital paintings that you wouldn't know were digital unless I told you. If I could paint in oils I would...alas my eyes don't work with my hand, so I create most of my art from photographs that I re-imagine. Few of my digital paintings resemble the original photographs very much when I am finished with my vision. Of course I also create work that is clearly digital as well. Here's a bit about me: RC...
