On Sale Now.. You better hurry.

"Double Head with Floral Arrangement"
UPDATE: PAINTING SOLD APRIL 1ST., NO FOOLING.
I just got word that one of my old Big Double Heads
has arrived at Sharon Weiss Gallery. Evidently the owner
of the painting is selling it.
After speaking with Sharon on the phone this evening
i was told about the flurry of activity around this painting.
Some people were asking her to separate the two and sell
them individually. Thank you Sharon for not doing that!!!
The painting is two 48" x 36" canvas's bolted together to
make one beautiful story.
I originally did this painting to celebrate the relationship I
was in at the time. There is a story in this painting, how the
masculine Head plucked the most beautiful flower from his
lovers Head. In doing so he felt he was taking something which
represented her beauty. He parades around with the flower,
showing it off to all the viewers. He wants everyone to know
she is his and he is proud of her beauty. But there is a little
problem happening, she is upset because he dared to pick
the most beautiful flower she had grown... it was hers!! it
was her elegance and grace and he plucked it without even
thinking how she would feel. Typical man who hasn't read
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

It was a painting which i created in my First Ave Studio in
Grandview back in the mid 90's. I think the year i painted
this one was 1995 or 96 at the latest. Originally i had painted
the two Heads separately and by accident i had leaned the two
next to each other and instantly noticed that they were soul mates.
The paintings look completely different at the time, the flowers
were not on the Heads yet and the background colors were
brighter. I then bolted them together and created the story
of the Heads with flowers.

It's for sale at Sharon Weiss Gallery 614-291-5683.
The size is 48"x 72", Oil on Canvas. I don't get any of the money
from this sale because it's on the secondary market, but I know
the owner and I want to support both him and Sharon. It was
fun to recount the history of this painting. It is a dream painting
and a must for someone who wants a very rare Double Head
painting from my archives. I have only done a handful of Double
Heads.. they are rare.
