Two Short Reads

by Ken and Duke Tate

Pearl Press

This short read is part of the Art Backstories series Ken and Duke will be doing where they write stories about Ken’s paintings.

The first story, The Pink Lady, is about a mixed media fashion art piece Ken did in 2017. You can see the image below.

The second story, Only the Painting Knows the Whole Story, is about an acrylic on raw canvas art piece Ken did years ago. You can see that art piece below too.

Art Backstories are the first published of their kind and will be an ongoing series Ken and Duke Tate will be doing

where the two seasoned writers tell the story behind Ken’s artworks.

 

Only the Painting Knows the Whole Story tells the tale from a drop cloth’s perspective. How it took the journey of a thousand steps from the factory where it was made to an artist’s studio, Where it eventually transformed into a beautiful work of art.

The Pink Lady follows a young man infatuated with a beautiful dame wearing a pink coat.

He only saw her on the street once. But that was enough.

Ever since, he has been mesmerized. 

When he sees her on TV again outside of his apartment seven years later, he decides to not let her slip away twice.

But what he doesn’t know is that she isn’t the only one being watched.
