July 10, 2013 at 5:13 pm #526137i found this image of this painting from a different website and claims to be the original , seems a lot different to laurens one so a tad confused

This one does look more like I’d expect the original painting to be. Thanks for posting it.
I welcome anyone to post up other references of these paintings — if you find one that looks better. I found most of these on the ARC website.
Cheers, Lauren
