Jack Vettriano art about hats

[danofarlington]

Several years ago I came across a print of the painting linked below, "The Billy Boys," at Target. I bought it and it fed my interest in wide-brimmed hats. Later on I saw a larger size of the print that I wished I had instead. I think it's cool. Jack Vettriano has other paintings about men in hats, like Boardwalk scenes of men in Panama hats, set in the 40s. You all ought to know about Jack Vettriano.

If I am not mistaken, we had a thread about this artist a few weeks ago.

Yes, I had brought it up. But in the interest of the holidays, for anyone who might be buying a present for himself or for someone else who might be on the forum, I wanted to break it out as its own thread to more easily search it in the future. It's all the same pitch as before though.

Oh. Gotcha. I was just making sure I wasn't mis-remembering (if that is a word).

BTW, I believe that the icon of thunderw21, who has an ad in Classified, is a Jack Vettriano paiting.
