A long time ago, when I joined forces with my band called Sweet Jelly, I wrote lyrics to a tune called “Bathtub Mary”. I never understood why people kept Mary, Jesus’s mother outside under a bathtub outside in their yard in sanctuary and decided to write about it. Thus the inspiration to the painting. Enjoy.

A portrait of an old friend of mine, who I haven’t seen in quite a while now….. Oil painting on masonite – 18 inches x 18 inches

I painted this while in Jamaica in 1966. I used latex interior house paint, since someone ‘took my magic tube paints (oils). The original is painted on a 16” x 32” piece of masonite or hardboard, on the ruf side. / The painting started with the drawing of the woman in lavender. This color was achieved by my having acquired the ‘mixing colorants’ used by the paint company to mix up all their variety of colors. I kept experimenting with these colorants for several years. / I remember being pleased with the lavender lady and kind of ‘projecting’ “an ideal woman” on to her. The abstracted male, “the jolly green giant” I knew even then was my own unformed sense of self and masculinity. / I was painting on the veranda of Stacey’s Montego Bay Guest House. Stacey, friends and guests could all get into the act of discussing anything artistic, my painting in particular. Stacey latched onto her choice of title “Number ONE”. Then she latched onto the painting itself, hung it in the place of honor in her salon and told me it’d help compensate her for my room and board, which I had no money to pay for. The arrangement worked for me. / She returned this painting to me many years later. It usually hangs somewhere around our house, but right now it’s in the closet with a broken frame.
