Sitting at
my desk one night with an hour before bedtime I felt restless and creative.
What can I paint? I thought. I only have to pick up a bit of canvas board and get
the urge to cover it with paint. That morning I'd seen a lady vicar being
interviewed on television. She was wearing the usual jet clergy shirt but it
was given relief with a green cardigan and a pink belt. For some reason I'd
remember those colours. I slapped a board on the easel and got started while watching
a documentary. It didn't take long however the following day in sunlight I saw a
second coat of paint was needed.
In the photos you’ll see Jack Ruby. That Colt
Cobra gun he used to shoot Lee Harvey Oswald was sold at auction for $220,000
about twenty years ago. In keeping with those numbers you can buy this painting
for just $22,000. It’s dry and ready to post. I can mail it off tomorrow after
my elephant manure sculpturing class.
