Artist's Comments

This is the famous internet meme.
I painted the original in 1972, a self portrait age five.
It re-appeared in 2001 on Ebay as 'the haunted painting'

I'm glad to see this powerful painting finally posted here by the artist who did it.
I've always been drawn to this painting for unknown reasons.
I've never found it 'frightening', more so like
a puzzle I'd like to solve someday.
if that makes sense. :)

The hidden is always more powerful left to the imagination of the viewer.
Some years ago a Texas radio show did a Halloween contest with a full sized replica of 'Hands' as the prize. The best thousand word story about the painting would win. I read probably eighty stories altogether. The majority were the writers own fears of drunkenness and child abuse, it was Texas after all, but a young woman wrote a lovely story from the paintings' point of view, not the viewers a kind of reverse Alice through the looking glass, she had set aside the obvious looking for the archetypal.
:iconsonettie:
very interesting.
I'm from Texas originally.
I know of a lot of hurt that goes down in the major cites.
The woman's story sounds like a wonderful read :D

If I knew which box I put it in I'd post you a copy of the story..
Sorry about my take on Texas, I may never forgive them for G.W. Bush.
:iconsonettie:
can't judge a state by one person imo.
his mistakes are his own, he gives the rest who live in that state a bad name :\
I've had people here in MO throw rocks or the likes
at me for being Texan, blaming me for Bush.:confused:

But no worries :) I got stuff against states my self. everyone has their own opinion and I don't judge by what others say.
