Spaghetti Western

This is a JET III "Spaghetti Western" circa 1985 acrylic painting and it is one of my signature pieces, that was worked on over the course of that year. It has been displayed several times since inception, but never any more prominently than for a month in a window installation at the Emerging Collector Gallery on Second Avenue in N.Y.C.'s East Village in 1989. It has a solid pine, wooden frame and in 1988it was fiber-glassed with a golden spaghetti topping and finished off with sparkling golden metallic enamel. My self-portrait side of this fairly symmetrical composition, was known at the time as "Flint" as in Clint & Flint" and shows my red tube of acrylic paint squeezing out from the tube in your direction and an artist paintbrush loaded with red paint in the other hand. On the "Clint" side is a sheriff with a silver badge who has just fired a Samuel Colt handgun as the smoke still emerges from it's barrel.
