"The Widow" painting, inspired by Yoko Ono?

  I got in mind the image of a women, who was seemingly going through much pain emotionally. While I was painting this I had no particular person in mind of whom this painting would be in likeness to, nor did I wish this painting to resemble any other person in any way, shape, or form. How ever, while I was painting this picture, I came to the realization that this painting may have been unconsciously inspired by Yoko Ono.. There I was, painting this women who was grieving, and there to my left was my John Lennon painting staring me in the eyes as the oil dried a few feet away from me. I was somewhat troubled by this, it was not my intention to portray any likeness to Yoko Ono, and I stopped the painting, leaving it "uncompleted"; but in my mind I had already decided that the painting was already as complete as it was ever going to be.


  It is possible that while I was painting this painting I was unconsciously inspired by Yoko Ono, this is an embarrassing story for me to tell, to be honest; and others may not see any relations between the painting and Yoko Ono. It was after my discovery of this unintentional likeness to the singer, that I decided to name this painting "The Widow". At the end of the day I am pleased with the out come of this painting, if you would like to purchase this painting then please visit my website here http://furuart.wix.com/furuarts and if you have any question you can contact me via the Contact page on my website.

John Lennon Painting titled "The Lennon"

   I'd been working on this paintings for weeks. Each time the outcome was not exactly what I wanted it to be, and each time I completed it I noticed something else that I would like to turn the painting into. I could not make up my mind on what to do with this painting. I was told that each version of the painting I made was "Really good", but it just didn't sit with me for some reason. How ever, eventually, I finally got it right! I was satisfied with my painting. This painting means a lot to me personally, because John Lennon is someone I look up to, I feel as though an increasing number of youth's are forgetting musicians of time's past and that the messages of singers no longer in this world are being heard by less, and less each year.

  I want to keep alive the ambitions and messages of musicians and artist who are no longer with us; and with this painting I hope to help accomplish this goal. I would like to one day be remembered for my paintings, the same way that John Lennon is remembered for his music, or the way that the great Lincoln is for his courage, and so on..
