Thank you for the answer. I have been searching and asking for days :)

Pink -- How did you figure it out?
Did you already know the painting?
I always like to learn new ways of
searching.

Cryptica,

I can't credit any hotshot searching skills for this one. I recognized
the painting immediately, but couldn't initially recall who painted
it. I sat there and stared at the image for ten minutes or so, and the
names of the painting and the artist magically appeared in my mind,
kind of like that old "Magic 8-Ball" toy which has a little floaty
message that drifts into a viewing window. I wish my mind worked this
well all the time. ;-)

If your mind worked this well all the time, you should put it to use
creatively visualizing lottery numbers!

I tried asking for lottery numbers, but Magic 8-Ball says "Ask Again Later."
