Piece description from the artist
This painting is the product of a studio accident. My dog knocked over a can of paint I had blended the day before. She (the dog) knocked over a broom which hit the paint and the paint splashed on a painting I had been working on. I spent the next two hours blotting up the spilled paint, just trying to save the canvas. I put the canvas in a special oven I use on a lot of my paintings and went to bed in a foul mood. I awoke the next morning and went to shut the oven off and this is what I found. I really like this painting because it has a gritty realism. I have unsuccessfully tried to do another painting similar to this but my dog has refused to help.
I was the young, dirty faced kid peeking in the art gallery window. I wanted to see how the other half lived. The guy that owned the gallery would give me a dollar to go get him a paper and tell me to keep the change. He was cool so art HAD to be cool. As I grew older I realized there were a lot of things I didn't understand about art. I didn't know how someone could display a blank canvas and call it "art", AND have others agree. With all do respect to Warhol, I didn't understand the painting of a soup can to be art. I thought art was supposed to be "beautiful". I realized that the "thought" artist were becoming more and more relevant, but I really needed more to work with than a blank canvas and a soup can. Then came the Hubble telescope photos. I was mesmerized. Spellbound. Not only was it the most beautiful art I had ever seen, it made me think about mankind's beginnings and the meaning of life in general. It abolished previous superstitious theories formulated when humans still thought the earth was flat. The photos quite literally showed the beginning of time. Many of my paintings are based on those photographs.
