A friend requested that I do something (no specified requirements!) on a large tintype. He has collected a number of these from artist friends -- he supplies the tintype, with his only stipulation being that only the background can be worked on, not the central image. I originally considered painting some wild, Rousseau-type "wallpaper" on my tintype, but no...this lady had a story to tell. So we told it.
