BEFORE BREENING


AFTER BREENING

To bid on this painting click HERE.
About 26" X 14" acrylic on oil? on canvasboard including painted frame. The frame isn't a perfect fit with an extremely small gap at the bottom.

The text says, "Poor Stray Monkey Cat!"

Mrs. Breen found the original at the Rowley flea market Sunday. Turns out the original is a copy of a Keane titled 'Stray' or stray cat or something like that. I've been thinking about this big eye stuff some - Murray sent me a subscription to Juxtapoz which I read as quickly as possible so as not to become to fixated and influenced - but Ryden kind of seeps in, I like him a lot, lots of twisted big eye stuff.

You know though, looking at this sad eye little girl really made me think of Frida Kahlo and how they were really kind of similar emotionally, except Frida was kind of tough. So I figured if I melded them together it would be kind of cool to have a vulnerable yet tough big eye frida. Her cat has a Frida monkey-face. You have keanish echoes in the diamond harlequin designs throughout the painting as well as kahloesque stabs. I like this one very much.

ON ANOTHER NOTE - I've lost track of where alot of my paintings have ended up due to a fried hard drive. A gentleman in California wants to buy a large number of breenish paintings, and rather than waiting for me to get off my ass and paint them, he may want to buy YOURS! If you are an owner of any of the following paintings, and may consider selling them, email me and I'll forward your info to him. -Gallery 13 / zconcern 1/8/2003 -Gallery 13 / sat2 1/8/2003 -Gallery 13 / did2 1/8/2003 -Gallery 12 SANT2jpg. -Gallery 10 zzshedevil13 -Gallery 10 Zmidage -Gallery 10 zfeet -Gallery 10 Dance2 -Gallery 10 Skunk2 -Gallery 9 Plasticsurgeon2 - Gallery9 Bitingfl2 -Gallery 8 Prom2 -Gallery 8 Jesus2 -Galley 8 Alphaball2 -Gallery 6 Angelcop2 -Gallery 5 zsurfing -Gallery 5 zadameve -Gallery 5 church2 -Gallery 5 hellpark2 -Gallery 5 ztermitefish -Gallery 4 Classic2 -Gallery 4 hellplayground
