This is my rendition of the Original Gauguins Vairumati and When Will You Marry combined in PhotoShop.
From what I could find out the Prop Department on Magnum p.i. combined the Gauguin paintings Vairumati and When Will You Marry in water color for the kitchen area of the Guest House.

Anyone know how to paint? [/img]

Actually there's a website that turn any photo or work of art and they paint it, or recreate it depending on the subject matter. Someone could send them the photo and they could supply it painted..but if you look at the size of the original on the show it looks like a 24 X 30 or something, it's fairly big. I wonder if there's a place that could replicate it with a watercolor paint look to it as opposed to the oil paint that the company uses??? It would be nice to have a copy.
It made me do it Higgins!!!
Turn a Photo into Watercolor
Here are a few sites that will make a painting from a photo:

There are also places that will enlarge a photograph to poster size. So if you could get a good (high resolution) print of the Photoshopped combination picture, you could send it to, for example, Clark Color Labs and get a poster-size print back and then put it in a poster frame. Probably significantly cheaper than paying someone to paint it!

Hi!only looking wrote:It's a shame you can't make copies of that. It looks very nice..would love to have a copy...
I could make a copy of it actually. I offered it here some time ago but there seemed to be no interest (or at least not much). It would be a poster copy of course - I cannot make an oil painting copy though.

Hey Sam...glad I found this forum because the one I monitored the last few years has petered out. Usually when it gets going a bit, Bev will toss in one of her essays and it sort of shuts down for a while. Been in touch with Meribor (whenever she's in Hawaii she spends some time with us over dinner), Magwriter (chat frequently on Facebook with), and Rob Morrone (remember him?).
Always take visitors (friends and family) out to the tidal pool on the estate so the kiddies can romp and play in the water. One of the Magheads from the original site we all were on moved over here and we are the closest of friends, We usually go to the Oktoberfest together at the Hale Koa and celebrate birthdays at a Thai restaurant in Waikiki as well.
Anyway, nice to chat with you again
