Director Painting

As I paint I think about the story I'm telling to explain my thoughts for anyone interested. My first love was the girl next door when I was five-ish. Judy was really keen on playing house. She was always the director of the episode that she got our immediate neighbor kids to participate in. She assigned rolls and what we were all to say. I was usually the father and she was the mother or the school teacher or the school principal, you know the head honcho, because she was a year older. Well I usually was irritated being told to say this and say that and I would get tired of the game and go play cops and robbers or cowboys and indians with the boys. She had a hard time recruiting fathers to play her games. Seems the other boys did not like being bossed around either. So one summer day she came over to my house and told me about a new game she thought up called “Doctor”. She had a flash light and we were going to take turns being the doctor and patient. Her mother was coffee clutching with my mother at my house so we went over to her house next door. There was only her and I. I followed her up to her mother's bedroom and into the closet and we sat on the floor. I was really keen on this new game. She closed the door so it was dark and we took turns using the flashlight for examining. Everything was going swimmingly and then the door opened and her mother was standing there, about ten feet tall asking “WHAT IS GOING ON?” Well, I was not too popular with her mother after that. They moved shortly afterwards and I never saw Judy again. Their family bought a little farmette in Wsconsin as a retreat place from Chicago. I wound up in the same area and became a barn painter and painted their barn and asked her brother about her. It turned out she became a nun and was living in a convent. This picture is part of my fantasy dream library and how I imagined she would look at 30. She was a lovely girl. I have giant rolls of canvas that I cut off portions of and staple to a painting board. This is the way the canvas looks after it is removed from the board ad is exactly what you will receive. It is a mixed media painting, mostly ink. The original size is 14" x 20" with extra canvas for stretching. It will ship in a tube. The advantage for you is that you have many options deisplaying it. You can have it framed with a mat as you would a painting on paper or you can have it stretched and framed as a canvas painting. This gives you options to make it fit in with your decor. Crop it any way you want. Your frame shop can give you many ideas.
