About the Item
This acrylic and alkyd canvas painting by Paul Micich features a large ethereal clown figure in white against a blue sky balancing a paper airplane on the tip of his nose. The work is part of his 'Paper Airplane' series. The artist states that he thought about "my father’s hands when I did this painting. I forced the perspective, wanting to get closer, to find out more. Not my father’s face, but like his face. Not my face, either. But like me."
"I have recurring dreams from time to time about music performances. I’m backstage and I can’t find an opening in the curtain as the orchestra begins. I’m onstage and the orchestra starts, but I have no music in front of me.
what suit today?
the red buttons?
the bit of blood?
we’re on now…
NOW!"

'Impromptu #9, ' by Josette Simon-Gestin, Acrylic on Canvas Painting
By Josette Simon-Gestin
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
"An impromptu in music demonstrates its particular ability to translate the romantic effusion of a moment or of a mood. As I am looking through the window, the exterior scenery composes with my mood a complicated picture," says Simon-Gestin. "This piece expresses my complicated feelings about life." Impromptu #9 features two female figures conversing against a backdrop of rich blue windows, a vase of red flowers, and complimentary patterns and shapes.
"After studying at the Beaux-arts in France, I have been painting, drawing, etching, making collage in the USA and in Italy, Austria, Denmark and China. In all these countries my work has been exhibited and collected.
Numerous series have accompanied me during my itinerances. Questions about identity and my relation to the world mark my road. I wish to express the complexity, the beauty, the ambiguity of the world as I feel it. I paint women and children in a universe of fantasy made of strange animals in baroque situations. In all these women, there is something of me but the sum of all these women does not equal me or I would have nothing more to say." -- Josette Simon...
