Hi Jill in Cincinnati!!! (I'm in Columbus, Ohio - Hi neighbor!) Too bad you didn't tell me/us a couple weeks ago! I could have brought it back to Columbus with me on my return trip!
Not sure how you'll be able to ship the painting -- I'm sure your friend would go to great stress and expense to ship it, say, UPS, back to you.
Why not offer one of our local message board members who are going to Madrid someday soon a kind of "fee" for bringing it back for you! Assuming, of course, the frame isn't packed with illegal drugs, German Berabonds (major spelling error here, I'm sure!), or C-4 explosives. (sheesh! I'd better watch what I say here! Who knows what goverment spies are scanning the internet for this stuff these days!)
Try to see if your office can ship it to you directly. That might be the best/safest way. Plus, they could probably make it a business expense.
Good luck! Saludos, MadridMan
