Phil Brinkman New Orleans Painting

We have been looking around for a 50's painting that had a New Orleans flavour for a while now, so when we stumbled across this Phil Brinkman piece for sale we knew we had to get it, it's a lovely silkscreen in its original frame.

 The Primary colours in the painting go very nicely with the ceiling lamp in the room.

 And the curtains!

BEFORE:

Halfway through we had the door finished with an added chrome strip to mimic the American version of this same model:

We just love that door handle!  It looks like a sputnik era Satellite dish.

The finished paint job:

 We hope to eventually chrome the exhaust vent/gill below the door which is currently Grey.

Here's the second Carlo painting plus the forced perspective planter/frame with a suitably tongue-in-cheek image.
