Ummmm, no. Not by a long shot.

I guess you have to spend ridiculous sums of money to have art, even though it looks exactly the same. Silly me, attempting to put something nice in my house.

Thanks.

I think that is where the art/decoration thing comes in. with originals, you can see layers, brush strokes, etc... From a distance one gets the same effect, but they are worlds apart. I have seen prints of Van Goghs "Sunflowers" but it did not do it justice, I realized, when I was standing with my nose 6 inches from the original.

That is not to take away from what you did, just a opinion. (and you know what those are like)
