@retoyman in partnership with @amblinroad. Second of three paintings in celebration of E.T. The Etra-Terrestrial. To win this painting on by random draw go to @amblinroad Twitters page and retweet this painting. Transformation: Like most characters in cinema the internal transformation of character is manifested by change in wardrobe. In this case Gertie helps the audience realize that ET is not only highly intelligent but also has power to heal. Gertie dresses ET as an old woman tips the audience that ET has a human connection to Elliot. As a Kid the closet stuffed animal hiding scene was one of my favorite scenes. Everyone I knew had plush and stuffed animals left over from childhood that we just didn’t want to let go of and collected on the edges of our lives. After the film art imitated life and ET became stuffed toy and sold all over. #retoyman #amblinroad #stevenspielberg #spielberg #ettheextraterrestrial #painting #limitedpalette #acryliconpaper #realism #art #artwork #plush #crossdressing https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HJcSHg_oE/?igshid=6szdj8ino3p6
