Dirck Van Delen A while back I made a few pendant necklaces using images of my favorite paintings and I've been hording them ever since! Well now you have a chance to win yourself a small piece of art! Pictured below is one of the pendants I made with, not one, but two classical painting images, one on each side. The pendant is 1" by 1 1/2" in a little brass frame with a leather cording attached. The first person to leave a comment with the correct Author and name of each painting below will receive the pendant free! Here they are, there are two images, of each painting:
Here is the link to the Web Gallery of Art, it will help you figure out the answers if you know how to search! Good luck and I will be waiting for the first correct answer. If you don't mind I'll need the winners email address so I can get the info for a mailing address to send it. US residence only please! Good luck!
