About a decade or so ago, I saw the 1945 film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' starring Hurd Hatfield and Angela Lansbury.
Though I'd never read the book, I knew the story but what really fascinated me was the style of the painting. For a 40s film, the end result of the painting was pretty jarring to behold - it was almost like a really bad acid trip two decades early. When I started making my own items for TS3, I always had it mind to make this. Of course there'd be two versions - one for the main house and another for the attic. You can imagine my joy when I bought TS3: Supernatural and discovered the changing portraits!
