You'd think the artist's muse would get a discount?!?
That is the name of a painting that will appear in an art show this December in Aspen. Mrs. Chopper was the model for the artist, an experience that she loved, BTW. She and I went and viewed the piece before it goes to the publicist for photographing and it's beautiful.
I'm definitely proud of her. Not too many 39 year old women can inspire an artist enough to not only seek her out to model for him, but then to give that name to his work.
I guess I am a lucky man.
Unfortunately I'll need to pony up $14,000 if I want to buy the original from the gallery where it is being featured. I think I'll need to call Jim for a loan. I wonder if Duff still has his number.

Fixed it for you
Any chance that you'll post a photo of the painting on the forum?
That's what I thought!! He told me he is planning to give us a print at some point, but that's not quite the same thing.
I think EHJ is smart enough to know what a mistake that would be!
Yeah, you're right.
I'm still curious though...
WTF? I hope it's at least a lithograph.
You know how these 'artistic' types are. Sheesh!
I was just going to ask if he would give you a print. Congrats to her, by the way. That's very cool.
She can end up in the Club banner!
When we get a copy of it I probably will. The only problem is that it's a bit more revealing than a lot of the boys in here can handle I think.
PM me the nudes friendo
Mrs. Chopper?
Bravo, to Mrs. Chopper for being the inspriation she is! That's amazing. Make sure Mrs. Chopper knows how proud your are.
I think the print is a wonderful idea. That way they both get something from this collaboration. He makes money off of the original and your wife still gets what seems to be a quite valuable print as payment for her participation.

Kudos to your wife!
Hmm...
For his next project, the artist will be singing, "I wish I had Chopper's girl..."
I will...I do. At least I hope I do.
That was the only part about the project that made me a bit uneasy. But his models are all beautiful, and he's somewhat famous so I wasn't too worried about him being professional during this process.
Plus, being a 400 pound Burger King drive-thru manager with 3 inch back hair, I figured that I am the standard by which all other men are judged.
Wow chopper...thats very cool.
Very cool, Chopper.
But you're a fukkin idiot for posting it here.![]()
By the way, I am also a great and famous artist, in case any of you ladies are interested in posing.
I only say that because I know you tell others (us) how proud you are & I just wanted to make sure you were sharing the same sentiments directly to her. As a wife, I know hearing it directly from my husband, as opposed to 3rd party, makes it all the more special. It sounds as though you doing it all perfectly.![]()
Wait... aren't you supposed to be working right now? What are you doing on the internet, young man?
Conference is over.
I am cleaning off my easel and brushes.
