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.
