Torn Circus
Torn Circus
Oil on Canvas
30"x40"

Another Morrison portrait using Frank Lisciandro's photos as reference. Jim used a line "all my life is a torn circus" in a London performance. This painting tries to illustrate that by the time he was recording his last album he was pretty well removed from the band and focussing on poetry. Even so, people keep putting him back in the band where he just didn't quite fit as expected. This is compiled from a series of Frank's shots taken at the Doors studio/workshop where L.A. Woman was recorded.
