What a bizarre drawing! I see the hand but not the knife. However, just to the right of the bird I see a very large bullet and right below that a knife with a wrapped handle. Next to the bird on the tree I see a face with no eyes. Just a nose and mouth with blood dripping from the lower lip. That is one creepy piece of work. I wonder when she did this "artwork". Thanks for sharing. FB
I see a lot. I see womens breasts at the top. I see the devil just below in red on the left. The face next to the devil has something coming out of it's head. And I see a baby at the bottom. For starters.
I agree I would really like to know the history on this one! I see all sorts of faces and knifes in this! I don't see a bullet though! So very interesting and bizarro!
I have to admit, i am kinda jealous that someone bought it. If I had $800 lying around I would have bought it, no doubt.
No specific date on when it was painted other than sometime after July 2004 when she started a Graphic Arts Course. Any Ornithologists on forum? I'm curious about what type of bird wears what looks like a ministers dog collar.
@poisonivy I think it's more than a bit creepy. The more you look the more you see. I see the faces and a pig at the bottom of the tree along with the stuff in my previous post. I still don't see the knife in the hand, just the hand. I wonder what an Art Therapist would make of it FB
I googled Woodpecker. Classic pose in wpecker photography, but , no specific match to particular wpecker species.
Yes, this is very interesting. I'm going to try an put it on my desktop so I can study it. It's like a Bev Doolittle Painting gone mad FB
On the ho hum side of things, to the right of the bird I see a crude windmill, that is if you were to turn the painting clockwise on its side. Looking at the painting as is I see an outline of a person in white chalk/paint above and to the right of the bird. I see a penis directly opposite the bird (other side of the [tree?]) I saved the scariest for last here. Turn the painting counter-clockwise so it sits long side facing the viewer(or turn your computer around) look VERY CLOSELY at the DARK END and tell me if you dont see a few pairs or sets of eyes, white dots mostly in twos, among the dark. They might help make out figures/creatures lurking about? Please tell me Im not the only one to see this. I cant speak for today, but if this painting was done by PK post 2oo4, she still had/has some serious emotional/mental issues 35+yrs post TLB in IMHO.
No idea why, but I suddenly remembered this ... 'Virgin Mary' toast fetches $28,000 A decade-old toasted cheese sandwich said to bear an image of the Virgin Mary has sold on the eBay auction website for $28,000. An internet casino confirmed it had purchased the sandwich, saying it had become a "part of pop culture". Goldenpalace.com says it will take the sandwich on world tour before selling it and donating the money to charity. Diane Duyser, from Florida, says the sandwich has never gone mouldy since she made it 10 years ago.
