The "Haunted Painting" sold on Ebay and eventually sold for $1,025.00! People that seen it etheir reportedly became ill, or died! So why am I posting it here? Do I want to kill my visitors? LOL... I just don't believe all the stories about this picture. I am sure all will be fine to have a look at it. I have posted it for two reasons, the first one being all the times I have heard about this "haunted painting", and two because although it is very strange and creepy, I kind of like it. It is not something I would hang anywhere, but I am a little drawn to it. If you want a print of this painting you can buy yourself one over at the artists website, Stoneham Studios. The artists statement regarding this painting is: "Where to begin? Well I've always had a connection to what Carl Jung called the collective unconscious. I think we all do. Artists, especially visual artists, are barometers for the currents which run through this collective. Dreams are a common experience people may have with this. Anyway, my own experience is a sensitivity to place– physical, geographical place. There are memories, echoes of all the life within a place. Maybe it's what's called channeling. When I painted the Hands Resist Him in 1972, I used an old photo of myself at age five in a Chicago apartment. The hands are the 'other lives.' The glass door, that thin veil between waking and dreaming. The girl/doll is the imagined companion, or guide through this realm.
