I have had a forum member contact me regarding what "Mark Twain Passions"
is all about:
This limited Edition giclee print is a print copy of my original oil on
linen painting (14 x 18. ) The picture shows 3 Star gazer Lilies ( picked
from "Mark Twain's" Lobster Pot Garden this summer) these Lilies represent
Mark Twain's passion about nature, the solar system and stars and comets.,
particularly Halleys Comet..which is fitting for the upcoming Mark Twain
Centennial as quoted by Twain:
"I came in with Halleys's Comet...it will be the greatest disappointment
of my life if I don't go out with Halley's comet. The Almighty has said,
no doubt, now here go those two unaccountable frauds; they came in
together,
they must go out together"
Mark Twain
The painting has two of Mark Twain's most famous books, which are green
with gold lettering; "Huckleberry Finn" and "Tom Sawyer" representing
Twain's
passion for writing, and the written and spoken word.
The Mark Twain Whiskey..(painted from an actual real bottle..made in
Kentucky) represents Mark Twain's love of "Drink":
"Sometimes too much drink is barely enough" Mark Twain
and the Cigar..was one of his most constant companions.
"I know a good cigar better than you do, for I have had sixty years'
experience. No, that is not what I mean; I mean I know a bad cigar better
than
anybody else. I judge by the price only; if it costs above 5 cents, I know
it to be either foreign or half foreign and unsmokable" Mark Twain
If I could of fit a cat in the composition I certainly would have..knowing
his great love of Cats and Kittens.
