Imagewise these portraits are a cross between Russian icons and British pub signs both fascinating genres.</description><copyright>Copyright (C) 2008</copyright><ttl>5</ttl><item><title>Napoleon</title><description>&lt;img src='http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/f40627c4-ec4b-47cf-a918-6998082f6833/uploadedartwork/100X100/bbdcf910-bbcb-442e-8486-f470b96f12ef.jpg' alt='bbdcf910-bbcb-442e-8486-f470b96f12ef' border="0" /&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The original was painted in acrylics on a 12 x 12" stretched canvas.

This year we are celebrating 60 years of India's independence from Britain  for which Gandhi played a very important and influential part.
The background is the spinning wheel which was impo0rtant to him (he himself spun the cotton for many of his clothes).
The border is in the colours of the Indian national flag.</description><link>http://www.imagekind.com/Mahatma-GANDHI_art_art?IMID=3448c1ba-2ec5-4bc5-83ad-22c08ca93b7f</link></item></channel></rss>
