I remember painting this in my studio space at the Overland Building at Massachusetts College of Art. The real looking skeleton was floating around as a prop, moving from one art student to the next and I managed to get it to my space for a study. I sat the skeleton on my chair and went to paint it with a colorful palate. I had always thought this would have been a good image for the Cancer Association or for a lung cancer ad. After using it several years for a Halloween prop, I finally sold it to three teenage boys in my old neighborhood of Reading, Vermont. I was so touched at their sincere interest in my fine art and especially by their enthusiasm to own this piece. I am glad they bought it as I know for awhile it will truly be appreciated.
This image was made from a scanned slide I have had in my archives of earlier artworks.
