Description

This huge painting was received in a trade with Ralph for one of my landscape sketches, mostly due to his incredible generosity.

I've added a scan of the traded sketch below. Some of the color is washed out of it, especially in the sky, but you get the idea.

Is that the landscape on the coffee table? Man, that is one sad clown. Great trade and even better story. Your son will remember this all his life I would bet.

Yep, that's the sketch. I've also added a scan of the landscape that Liz sent me. The color is a bit washed out.

I got there about thirty minutes after the photo was taken - or so I would assume, as the clown had already filled the ashtray with butts and collected several more bottles on the table. Thereafter things got fuzzy. When I woke up the next day, I was still in the holding pen. My wallet was gone, as was the clown. Damn clown.

Fantastic trade, and even more fantastic to spend time with a legend. I was noticing the mixed media piece on the wall behind the couch that looks like parts of the art are sticking out - what was it? Pretty intriguing.

Ralph has been working on a lot of 3D constructions, based somewhat on his Brooklyn upbringing. They're quite beautiful in person.
