I found a really nice article on how Peter Max met his wife (below)
and immediately thought of how nice it would be to do a painting
inspired by many of Peter's paintings in honor of his love for her.
Maybe she would have a room with all her favorites or some of
them of Peter's works and furniture just as funky. Peter Max
used so many shades of pinks and oranges, peaches and blues. I
really like the way this came out. Would just love to have a
yellow stripe sofa too.
Enjoy
For The Love of Mary
“She’s so stunning,” he sighed, sounding 17 instead of 71. How’d they meet? Max exited his New York studio one day about a decade ago and spotted one Mary Baldwin chatting with friends on the sidewalk.
She was no stranger: he’d doodled her exact profile for years. Max rushed into his studio, returned with a drawing and handed it to the stranger, blurting, “I’ve been drawing you all my life.” His crush was politely unimpressed. “Her friends said to her, ‘That’s Peter Max!’ And she said, `Who?’”
He gave her his number, fretted until she called, then coaxed her to go to lunch. And that was that.
“I remember reaching over the table, kind of clumsy, and putting my palms on each side of her face and saying, ‘I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life,’” he said. “And she put her hands on my hands and said, `You’re in good hands with me.’”
They married the next year.
