Title: What Would’ve been The New Grandad-747
Medium: Oil on canvas

This work is also about the same theme as the last, another illusional painting. It also shows how my grandfather may have looked if he had grown even taller and would have been super stretched like the new Boeing 747-600 that never was. Its is clearly about things that never happened. My grandfather in an impossible way did remind me of the 747 jet as he had a big nose and had a big frame. The dream that fueled the idea of this work and The Enigma Of Grandad was truly bizarre and took me a long time to figure out in terms of putting the idea into two paintings.
