Initials are a digital watermark.



Here is a slide which is a little grainy, but in focus.  The color is not as fresh as the actual painting
(the slide is a tad darker than the painting).   This slide is extremely close to the painting.

Also and More...





                                                                                           Above is an excellent slide (yet, not as detailed as the first).  
                                                        The painting is a detailed combination of these two images regarding color and intensity.

The above three images are from the same slide.  There are two black dots on the slide which is lint (in the middle-left portion of the flag).  This slide was taken with recessed florescent lighting and appropriate slide film.  The painting is at an angle to avoid a glare.   I used the school's tripod.  It was stretched perfectly (used straight wood which did not warp) before rolling the canvas and storing it.  This slide shows a blurry representation of my "signature" in dark blue which (if I remember correctly) I am almost positive has"A.Allegrone" printed (not in cursive and painted) at an upwards angle (towards the upper right reading left to right) on the bottom right corner of the painting.   My other images are from scanned slides of this painting which have all been masked with silver tape (therefore cropped for  relatively "acceptable" presentation purposes).  The colors and density is as close to the painting as possible.  I can tell these colors are accurate from the small paintings in the background which I have upstairs here.

I added a little yellow and magenta to the same slide below to view the painting under slightly different  lighting conditions:
