High C! Imagine that!

How about a Carl Barks painting from 1967?
Titled "High C! Imagine that!" and numbered #25-67.


Maybe not one of his best... But still.
Nice to see something "new" by an artist you admire.
You might want to compare it to the painting
that followed:  #26-67 "Spring in Samarkand",
and #23-67 "What a Nerve!".

More on these portraits can be found here: http://www.cbarks.dk/thefirstportraits.htm

Carl: I got a photo of Carl in front of a few paintings of girls, like this one. But unfortunately no more images of finished paintings.

Carl:
I guess that the paintings seen in that April 1968 photograph are
19-68 "Posy Girl" (top left)
16-68 "Hello, Butterfly" (top right)
21-68 "October Girl" (middle left)
22-68 "Child of May" (middle right) 17-68 "Young Oriole" (bottom left)
Don't know about bottom right .

BTW: Found the pencils to 21-67 "Rose of Tralee". Will it post at a later date.

And 19-67 "Fancy Stranger" is reproduced in the new Barks book of paintings. (But it's a pretty small image.)
