They took them in and they left them to...

Description

This is an original piece that I painted using oil on canvas.It is gallery wrapped, so no need for a frame and is wired on the back for hanging...

This particular piece is part of an ongoing series I am doing with very inventive and organic type imagery...in this series I begin with an ordinary object and build upon it and morph until it is no longer ordinary. This piece, and the others in it, are like small glimpses into an imaginary world. I won't explain what I was thinking when I made this piece - my goal is for you to find your own explanation...in fact, I leave the titles open ended so that that you may be able to take part in the work..

The title of this piece is "They took them on and they left them to.." ... what do you see in this piece - what does it mean to you? I began this one by looking at art tools in my studio and listening to the Katrina coverage on NPR...

This particular piece has been shown once in a museum in Memphis, TN and some place in Alabama :)- but now it wants to find a permanent home....

The size is 24" high by 18" across... the perfect size for hanging in your living room or den - but it will not be a good piece for a closet as it prefers to be seen and not hidden.

I have work hanging in various places like rich art collectors homes, university offices, people in New York and Georgia and some other places. So know you are in good company when you buy this piece.....
