Scott Gustafson - Old King Cole - Hand Signed - Limited Edition Print - Image Size: 14 1/4"w X 17"h. Limited Edition Of: 2750 - "this Is One Of My Favorite Paintings. I Played With The Ideas Of A King, A Pipe And A Bowl. Of Course, I First Thought Of The King Of The Jungle. I Didn't Want A Pipe That Had Anything To Do With Tobacco But I Also Didn't Want To Change It Into A Pan Pipe Or Anything Similar. My Memory Went Back To Childhood And A Bubble-blowing Pipe. That Idea Led Naturally To The Bowl Of Bubble Mixture . . . Although I Was Tempted By The Idea Of A Cheerful-looking Cereal Bowl. "happily, I Was Able To Include All My Preferences And Not In An Obvious Way. Then It Was A Matter Of Getting The Boy's Expression Right And Researching All The Appropriate Parts Of The Town Behind Them. I Think It's One Of My Sunniest And Best-balanced Works."
