History of a Painting - "Gone Fishing".
Acrylic Paintings by Larry Johnston©
"Gone Fishing", is a unique Painting , where I made one painting from another and then sold prints of both. The Tackle Box was mine, which I painted onstretched canvas and took photos of it when it was finished. I was then able to make prints from them.
Later, I took the same painting and painted it to look like a puzzle, removing part of the painting by painting over it to remove the pieces, repainting them individually elsewhere on the canvas. When I finished the makeover, I took photos of it and made prints from the puzzle looking painting.
Eventually, I sold the painting of the "Gone Fishin' puzzle". I was suprised to find that some of the judges were not impressed, because they thought I had glued a puzzle on a canvas, or framed a puzzle nd put a price on it.
I guess that is the price you pay for being too realistic. How do you view the painting?
