Description 2010 RC deWinter ~ All Rights Reserved___________________________________________Well, when I saw what Gustav had done with that bunch of daffodils, I tossed caution to the wind and asked him to create a special painting for my mother for Mother's Day. He snorted and said, 'Do you think I have time for this? Do you realize how many other projects I have begun, how many commissions are yet unfinished?' I tried to look apologetic and I'm sure I failed miserably. 'Oh, Gustav, nothing elaborate - these daffodils are so elegantly done - perhaps just a bouquet of flowers on a simple background?' I figured if I flattered him enough he might come around. I knew he didn't have a mistress at the time; if he had, I am sure he would have refused outright. I looked at him with my best spaniel eyes and he laughed. 'All right, all right, just a little something quick - not too big and not too intricate. How much are you willing to pay?' Now there was something I hadn't even thought of. I have no money and Gustav had already made it plain he wasn't interested in my body - except perhaps to paint - so I hemmed and hawed a bit. 'I don't know,' I finally said. 'Well, I know you're a poor starving creature, so let's say $150 and a good meal,' he replied, 'with cabbage.'___________________________________________That last bit about the cabbage was a personal dig, because Klimt knows cabbage is on my top 10 list of things never to pass my lips. I told him the very aroma of cooking cabbage made me retch. But what a deal...an original Klimt for $150 and a vile meal! 'All right,' I said, 'but Gustav, you have to promise not to be condescending about the meal. I've never cooked cabbage before.' 'Well then, it will be most interesting to see what you concoct,' he chuckled.___________________________________________I left soon afterward and waited to hear from Gustav. In a week he appeared at my door and gave me this.
