Oh I wouldn't say that at all. It most certainly is linked directly to her as she 'owned' it.
Clapton just 'chose' that for the Layla cover artwork. It was an original painting (she has owned for years) called La Jeune Fille au Bouquet, painted by Emile Theodore Frandsen de Schomberg.
Clapton had seen the painting while writing songs in France. He asked the family on whose wall the painting hung if he could have it - they said yes!
When (George) Harrison and Boyd split up, Eric 'gifted' the painting to Harrison and the painting stayed with him.
Then when Clapton and Boyd split up after infidelities and the usual drug problems, Harrison 'gave' the original painting to Patti (ie in other words, she's 'owned' it since then).
Being a 60s teen myself, it was the 'norm' then to follow all this stuff.
Me, personally, didn't think 'Clapton was God', I was on board with the others in London at the time who all thought this:
edit to add:
someone will be along in a mo to say 'who the fk is Peter Green?' LOL

My comment was more about the value being the link to George and Eric, rather than purely to her own fame.
The best memory i have of the song "something" by the beatles, is when i went to see the show in Las Vegas called "Love", which is a cirque du soleil show set to the beatles music. During that piece this godess of a woman would swing over to where i was sat (front row seat), stop for a few seconds and look at me with a beaming smile, before buggering off again. Highlight of my trip.

I don’t know who Peter Green is and I’m 47.
Band member of some sort?
He was the guitarist in the original Fleetwood Mac.Band member of some sort?
Peter Green was arguably the best guitarist of the age, and certainly one of the best R&B guitarists of all time
wonderful voice too....
