Oil on canvas

One of two paintings I entered in an anniversary show at Pelham Art Center several years ago. I don’t think they took this one but took another which I no longer have. It was terrible but matched the theme better I suppose, which was “birthday” as I recall. It was a doll with an umbilical cord attached to a small clay baby I had molded and it looked like a monster. I spent much of the time speaking to an older guy who must have been related to one of the other artists. He was very curious as to why I would paint such a terrible painting. I think it ended up in a tattoo shop in Woodstock. Or in the garbage. But I found a pic of it.
