THE SKULL PAINTING

This is a signature photo by Adam Blai of the painter Andrew Turner.

A few year's ago, during a particularly cold bleak winter season, Andrew visited me with a painting of a skull painting gift he'd created for me. I loved it and hung it in the bar.

Later, for the film Coolsville, Adam photographed Andrew here in the bar standing beside his painting. I absolutely love this photograph. It seems to have taken on a new significance too as time has gone on and will probably become the third official hotel postcard.
