Rencounter applied a priming coat to the plaster wall and started copying 'the picture, "As he got along with his work," Michaelson said, "I could tell he was doing a pretty good job. So I told him that when he was done with the painting I would let him out of jail, "He finished in seven hours, which was a little faster than 1 thought he would, But it was a beautiful picture, and I let him go "You really have to see it to appreciate how good it is.
