"The Laughing Spaceman" (inspired by Charlton Heston and "The Planet Of The Apes")

$1,100.00

Here is one of my favorite subjects to paint, Charlton Heston as Astronaut Taylor from the 1968 Science Fiction classic, "The Planet Of The Apes". This is taken from a moment early on in the picture when Taylor notices one of his companions planting a miniature American flag in the sand of the planet on which they have crashed. Being the ultimate cynic, he lets out a bellowing laugh at the ridiculous of the situation. I will never tire of painting Heston's toothy smile. There is always something new to discover every time I look at his face!

15 x 19. Oil on Plywood Panel. Framed.
