32 ½" x 22" acrylics on hand-made rice paper

This painting was completed and named on December 9th, 2004

It was a truly starling discovery for the artist, who purchased her copy of The Pulitzer-prize winning
novel The Goldfinch_ by Donna Tartt   and "discovered"~in 2013~almost a decade [9 years and some months]
 AFTER this painting was published online on this web site
 the outright filching of intellectual property
WITHOUT permission from the artist. 
If you [the reader of these words] were to turn YOUR copy of
The Goldfinch_ by Donna Tartt  over and care to examine the back of the book cover
you will, see for yourself that THE PAPER - on the jacket cover of The Goldfinch_ by Donna Tartt_
exactly mirrors  the RIPPED PAPER on ORIGINAL COPYRIGHTED FALCONER PAINTINGS PUBLISHED BEFORE 2013.
The background PAPER for the jacket cover of The Goldfinch_ by Donna Tartt   is
ripped DIRECTLY off  Thrive!  Even in the Rubble ©2004 [the painting published above]
