Fraud Painting

This is a highly personal piece. It is my first work of 2019 to start. Secondly, it’s my first piece after overcoming a serious addiction problem. As a result I had not painted a single thing in 8-9 months. The longest hiatus in my professional career. It is also a painting that takes an ironic look at fatherhood. On the canvas one reads: # 1 Dad...and then there are the CVS coupons for money off laxatives and heartburn medication. Irony # 1. Irony # 2 is the title, which is Fraud. This title is deceptive. I am not saying I, carl bowlby, am a fraud, but that I have been accused of fraud by none other than the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. Me, the starving artist and church organist. That I witheld income from church intentionally. This I did not do. So the title carries with it very personal attributions. Whether or not it hangs on someone’s wall is moot. This is a piece to celebrate. An artist’s return to the canvas! And that there is life after addiction. And not only life, but art!
