I LOVE that poster! I am so used to seeing all of the classic actual photos and the poster is such a fresh take on the movie. Only you know how much DH actually "cares" what is in the room. My DH has a way of drastically changing his opinion of something the first time he hears someone else comment favorably on it. I learned long ago to ignore his thoughts on any decorative matter...in fact, the more he dislikes something, the more I usually know I'm on the right track, lol. I ignore his input and in the end, he is always very happy with the end product. I think this poster would be quite a conversation piece. I can't imagine how it would look in your living room as I have zero ability to visualize anything from a written description. As for whether it would look cheap, I wouldn't worry about that. It is either going to enhance the overall look of the room or it isn't. That would be my main concern.

Thanks, mclarke, for looking up prints. Of the ones above, I'm most drawn to the red boat. I like the trees in the mist one, too. It actually looks like the view from the side windows. But I think I like the boat better because I'd rather not replacate the views, just feature something you'd see in the surroundings. That's why most of the lake landscapes I've found haven't hooked me. The red boat is a nice punch of color. My walls are creamy white, the floors are pumpkin pine. The boat print seems more informal, too. In the "Long Weekend" print, I liked that the people and dogs were stylized rather than realistically portrayed. I don't think I want a photograph. patricia43, I chuckled when I read your post about getting through Christmas with a summer print. A close friend and I have been debating that for years. Since I live in NH, the seasonal changes here are radical. I tend to change out my prints, at least, from summer to winter. My friend loves to have her tulip and garden prints in her LR during winter's darkest days to remind her that summer will come again. To each her own! When I can afford to, I'll probably collect some seasonal "switch-outs" for the new place. mclarke - Sabra Field(s)? is a Vermont artist whose work I love. She does beautiful, simple prints. Most of her available prints aren't large enough for the space I'm looking to fill and, matted and framed, are out of my price-range right now. But the boat print reminded me of them. She has a website, if you're interested in looking. Thanks!

Vedazu, we have a similar portrait of my FIL done in WWII German prison camp in pencil. It's in a simple lucite standing frame in DH's study, but I'm going to frame it for his Bday. I never thought of doing that before! The first time I saw it I asked my DH who had done HIS portrait, they look so much alike. We have a great full-length portrait of my great-grandfather that hung in Grandparents' library for 50 years, then in Dad's library for 30, today it's being crated up and heading to my cousin. It's a really wonderful portrait (can't show a picture because it's at the restorer) and will be perfect in his house. (Yes, he does want it)

I thought it was excellent as well. Cassandra, I did wonder how it came to be that Klimt painted the aunt, and how Maria's father made his money. I guess all that is in the book (or was he was a musician??). My doctor for years had a Klimt print in her office, and I always enjoyed seeing it. It was The Kiss. It has a similar look to Woman in Gold. I think the movie will be up for an Academy Award.
