Christmas Present for my sons

[MikeUSNRet]

This one is just about an hour off the table. Both of my boys have always liked this picture of their mom from long ago, so thought I'd send each of them a litho for Christmas. One down, one to go.

Thank you Mike,

I have printed your settings off. Now to try and get one done myself. If I can get anywhere near the quality that you have I will be more than happy.

Thanks again,
