A young woman came into the gallery just to look around. After some while she settled on this painting. She told me she would bring her husband back to look at the painting, but after a few minutes, decided to take it right then. Well, I was pretty happy about that! She said the painting reminded her of a husband and wife discussing an important matter. Go figure!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11720094-4112463486385780417?l=engafford.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edward Gaffordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10097842353745912046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11720094.post-75742233435133027922007-04-15T18:47:00.000-07:002007-04-16T13:00:58.334-07:00The blog hasn't featured a new painting in a while.

It was inspired by events of that year and the biblical quote I have mentioned.<br /><br />This next painting for consideration is titled <em>The Painted Bird</em>, and was painted in 1995. The inspiration for this work comes from a book of the same name by Joerzy Kosinski.<br /><br />In both paintings I have attempted to provide visual stimulus that would aid viewers to reflect upon the prejudices brought on by mere exterior differences.<br /><br /><img alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" src="http://img99.exs.cx/img99/1295/paintedbird6ts.jpg" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11720094-111334854740154626?l=engafford.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edward Gaffordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10097842353745912046noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11720094.post-1111890283090884352005-03-31T14:35:00.000-08:002007-04-14T12:55:23.023-07:00<img src="http://img78.exs.cx/img78/6489/persecution2le.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /><br /><br />Matthew 25:40: <blockquote>And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11720094-111189028309088435?l=engafford.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Edward Gaffordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10097842353745912046noreply@blogger.com7
