Description
The original painting is 9x12 and was sold. I created this painting by using a palette knife and lots of layers of paint. There is a funny story about the sale of this painting. The painting was hanging in the Gallery my parents owned in Lake Tahoe. The gallery was just three buildings from the beach. I decided to open for 4TH of July, historically not a good day to be open. I had to keep a close eye on our parking lot because so many beach goers were trying to use it. A convertible pulled up with two couples excitedly jumping out. They saw me watching them through the sliding glass door and decided to come in. We chatted a bit while they had a look around. One of the two men spotted the roster and told his buddy to come check it out. The buddy (the cockier of the two) stared at the painting for a long time then reached up and pulled it off the wall. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a wad of money and handed me two one hundred dollar bills, tucked the painting under his arm and they all walked out. I watched him put the painting into the trunk and they pulled out their beach supplies then headed to the beach. I had to laugh because I bet that was the most expensive parking space they ever paid for.
