Picasso Still Life With Pitcher and Fruit

The top picture is the Picasso still life that he painted around the 1920's that is hanging in the St. Louis Art Museum. I took this postcard, scanned it, and projected the scan onto a canvas. I then was able to trace the image, and re-create this for my dining room. (Using this technique reminds me of color-by-number!) What is odd about this postcard is that some of the pastel colors are not the same as the colors on the original painting in the museum... I discovered this after painting my own - but if it really bothers me enough I can always go back and paint over the colors in question.
The bottom picture is the finished project hanging in our living room/dining room.
