I love this red...it really brings out the red in Jesus' robe...
I had my home office painted red and the velvet painting looks fabulous in there!

Sweet.
Our master bedroom is painted in a similar color.

That painting only works if it is Velvet.

it's called red, red wine...I was so scared it was going to turn out hideous, but it looks nice with the white doors and crown moulding and case moulding. Took the painter four or five coats to get good coverage! I was thinking about doing a couple of walls in the spare bedroom a pumpkin orange...

It IS velvet...read the title of the thread. I'm going to have a custom velvet portrait of my cat done as soon as I get the right picture of her. I lost all my pics when my hard drive crashed and I had the perfect one.
Arghghghghgh! I fukkin' *HATE* reds like that. :mumble:dh girlie said:
We, of course, painted one wall in the kids' room a red like that. 5 fukkin' coats. :mumble:

OOoops... Sorry the whole title isn't viewable from the RM main page.
Do you have matching plates?
It is a beautiful painting, isn't it? I got it only because I thought it was hysterical and the rest of my house looks like a pottery barn catalog...nice but not enough personality. So the home office gets the funny, weird stuff.antm said:
I got it at www.thevelvetstore.com
The have a TON of other really kick ass velvet paintings.
No...no plates, but I do have these really cool gothic metal cross candle holders to hang on either side of the picture...I also have this:Mtb_Rob_FL said:
Nope...not religious at all...I thought the rosary beads were the perfect touch...picked em up in Mexico...that room is gonna be so hard core pimpin when I'm done with it...stosh said:Can I ask you a silly question.... are you at all religious?
If you aren't the rosary (sp?) beads at the perfect touch if you are =carred:

Got some on the shelves already!
99 cents at the grocery store!
It will be a swanky room...I've also got some Dia de las Muertes artwork and figures for that room. If you look closely at the frame of the jesus/elvis painting, you'll see that the frame is lined in black velvet...quite the touch if I must say!stosh said:

yeah...you can choose your frame...I, of course, went for the most hideous, tackiest, most atrocious frame they offered! But that frame is just perfect for that painting, wouldn't you say?stosh said:

I think it would be cool to get the same type of painting, except put Johnny Cash with Jesus and another one with Liberace and Jesus.
how about one w/ jimmy swaggert and jesus?
or tammy faye and jesus?

Great painting! I think I am going to have to get a nice velvet Elvis. No home is complete without one!
Excellent wall color too! I once did up my apartment with purple walls downstairs, and blue walls with silver moulding upstairs. It is hard to get good coverage out of a dark flat color. Your red looks great! It really does bring out the red in Jesus' robe. (And Elvis' eyes! LOL)

You should...I agree that no house is a home until it has a velvet Elvis!Ciaran said:
I really like the red, too. I had the hallway, living room, dining room and kitchen done in a nice, rich gold called Desert Camel...I want to do some other daring colors in some of the other bedrooms...

To immortalize him in velvet with Jesus??? Why...that is the utmost honor, I would think...
Actually, this is what they showed on the site for the Elvis/Jesus combo...I think it looks more like JC than Elvis...I was actually really pleased that my Elvis/Jesus treasure turned out the way it did...I think the one I have is much better'n this one:

I really do cherish that painting as gaudy and cheesey as it is. I love how the divine halo of light is around Elvis, not Jesus...
stosh said:
Probably both...they know that it's cool like in a hipster way, but cheesey...I dunno...they've been around for a while...I got mine about a year ago and I admired them on their website for about a year before that...there must be a market for it. Did you look at the Elvis Makeovers? You can have yourself made into a velvet elvis!
wow dude, you're one of those whiney middle class white Americans, too. You're white, American, (don't know about the social status), but you sure do whine a lot.stosh said:
