but as often happens this painting slowly developed
like a polaroid before my eyes into something
resembling the thin white dude.
for the ghostly eyes I pasted paper on the canvas
then peeled most of it off.
acrylic 24 x 30
painted on october 24, 2012

You paint it - I'll buy it! I can hang it next to the very creepy signed lithograph I own that DB did called "portrait of JO" (iggy). scary monster indeed!
Serendipity.... 3 days after my previous post, I'm in STL on business, and who do I see across the hotel lobby helping himself to breakfast, but non other than "Beatle Bob" himself. First met him at The Old Rockhouse when you last played there about a year ago. And, yes, his mane is still enviable beyond belief!
