When I was contacted for some information by Kari about the above piece I wrote: It looks like an early work of Tony. I would guess between 65 and 75... based on other work from that period I have seen. How did you come by it? Was it a gift. It definitely is an original. Thanks for sharing. Her answer was:
Hi'
So nice to hear from you.. I have had the painting for about ten years. Got it at an estate sale in the fairfax district. Embarrassed to say first I was attracted to the colors as they matched my bedroom. Well once I got it up, I really loved it. I see it first thing in the morning and literally discover something new all the time. I think it was months before I realized she was in front of a mirror! I see new colors,facial expressions and even clothing whenever I really focus. I never researched the art because I just loved it. I have been low on funds and selling a few things in the house and thought "lets just check it out"
Reading your blog has been fascinating and I sure wish I had met Tony. Great to hear she is original, but the whole story is too cool to want to let her go anytime soon!
My husband has the picture on his laptop.and my tech savy is lacking. I will get him to send it to you, but wanted to return your kind note A.S.A.P. Thanks again! Kari
It is good to complete the collection of Tony's work online. Thanks to all who share their work with the rest of the world.
