this painting was sold to a dear friend from california who now lives in new york. we met when i was in 6th grade and played baseball and flag football together as young teenagers. such a special period in our lives. we would laugh and joke all the time and had jokes with each other that i still laugh at today. when you connect with someone over humor there is a bond that last for a lifetime.
this painting is of my childhood home where my mother would play bob marley and all the other incredible bands and singers from the 70's. this depicts hierarchies and vulnerabilities which is the essence of the 'king is dancing' moniker. I love when someone is vulnerable but has strong character or as garnett silk would say 'kingly character'. i was exposed to some unregulated dynamics in my childhood that played out later unfavorably. but at the time they were innocent. the lion symbolizes ultimate resolution as does time. the strength and perserverance of goodness always has the last step.
