Gargoyle

It is a one and only that's is so uniquely Hale.  How can anyone capture this again?  The vulnerability and haunting stare are brightly lit in this all black environment that has this silent scream.

I saw this come through as well, but wasn't able to act as quickly. 

Congrats on an amazing piece. It'll look amazing on the wall. Please post a pic when it is.

Appreciate it. I was truly afraid someone that pays attention would beat me to it while i was in the midst of my due dilligence. I already have the frame underway (I had some molding here at the house so I cut it down and made the frame myself) will post a pic when the glue is dry and the piece is hung. 

Ha I was wondering who bought it. I got the email too but didn't see it till morning and was surprised it sold already. It was not a cheap piece, that said, definitely landed in the right collection. It is one of Phil's most iconic paintings, though will always be the Goad cover to me, congrats!

Thanks. And you can call me a loon, but I thought it was incredibly fair, and in fact, quite cheap for the prominence the painting still has in Phil's ovure.  What's more, the day I paid for it, I was informed that the seller had been offered $3k more than I'd paid for it to sell it to someone else, and they offered to put me in touch with that individual. So I guess I am not the only loony. :)

Spectacular painting!  Also a favorite of mine.  So glad to hear collector stories like this.  Thanks for the massive hi res scans!

Haunting and disturbing

When I saw that piece for sale, I ran as fast as I could ¡¡¡ but Steve Robertson told me "I’m sorry, but the Hale painting is sold".

I'm so happy that you have it, I'm saying this from my heart....I think it has reached someone who truly appreciates the art of our dear Phil,And among the collectors I know, you is the one who values ​​his work the most.

My sincerest congratulations,That is truly an authentic, fucking holy grai ¡¡¡¡¡¡  BRAVOOOO
