I was inspired to make this painting by a visit to Kew Palace in London, the former home of King George III and his family. The upstairs rooms had fallen into complete disrepair, and I was enchanted by the possibility of creating a series of narrative paintings featuring my then current muse, a mannequin head. In this scene, two mannequin heads are placed on the chairs of the princesses who occupied this bedroom, as if occupied in conversation. On the light-pierced blinds are shadows of hot air balloons travelling in the distance. This painting depicts the decayed remains of a bygone time, but my hope is that the viewer will find amusement in the placement of the heads and wonder what the two might be discussing. The painting continues down the sides of the canvas, so it may be hung as-is by the hanger on the back, or it may be framed.
