I thought tonight I’d share something that caught me off guard a little.

As you can see above, we have an original oil painting on what appears to be a composite board (think masonite). Dating from what I’d imagine to be the 1950’s I love the nice earthy colours and the expression on the Aboriginals face. To me I picture him sitting down, shoulders slightly rolled forwards, arms resting on his legs and he’s about to start telling an interesting, but hard story.

Now the ‘Aboriginal Head’ (title) painting above was only 1 of 2. There is another.

This painting, shares the same earthy colours, however appears to be a little more refined (texture of the board is smoother). Our Aboriginal friend in this one though is standing tall, broad shoulders with a stern look on his face. Again, a nice piece in it’s own right.

However, put the 2 side by side and watch the magic happen!

All of a sudden, the two seperate paintings become one. The frames disappear and we’re left with a gorgeous panoramic image! Amazingly beautiful.

So, do we know who the artist is? Sure do, but you’ll have to wait till part 2 to find out.
