Description
This dynamic piece was created 2005 around the time of Hurricane Katrina…..Oprah and the women of the legends lunch. Paintings sometimes have a story. This painting has a story. It was created as a gift for Oprah in admiration of what she had done for uplifting and supporting communities throughout Chicago and the world. At the time the artist(C.Acid) lived in Palatine, Il., and she and another lady (promoting her food service business) had the idea to send the painting to Oprah, hoping to one day be on her show, speak on their journey, and expand on their business ventures for self-sufficiency.
They received third hand information that she might be jogging early mornings near her Harpo Studios at the time. The 2 ladies devised a plan to bring the portrait to Harpo Studios and set it along with a letter explaining their stories. They were briefly interrupted by a security guard, and rightfully so. The guard saw the piece and explained to the ladies… “Oh WOW, amazing she would love this.” (in similar terms), but here is how you send it. DHL… so the 2 ladies pooled their monies together ,they sent the painting , the information about their business ventures and their stories. Ms. Acid finally received a call, but it was not what was expected. Whomever called that day was very RUDE, and dismissive, stated that Oprah would not be interest in either of their stories and that she did not except gifts over $25.00 from fans and patrons.
The story GETS BETTER. In August that same year2005, another artist sent almost the SAME EXACT PAINTING, in almost the same EXACT FRAME, but without the details that Ms. Acid had designed in her piece, of the celebrity ladies at the legends lunch, the city of Chicago and the world. One could say COINCIDENCE. Or one could say hey that is where they got the idea to honor Oprah in the same way. .you just never know. Since then, this piece has been seen in galleries throughout the United States.
Ms. Acid held on to the painting for years, and now she is ready to sell it.
