The man who lost his head

The man who lost his head
The story behind the painting

It developed from a true story.

'Hundreds of years ago,' recounted Johnny, 'I was in Notting Hill somewhere.  It was very, very windy and I was looking to cross a road.  There was a guy walking on the other side and his hat blew off - but underneath he was wearing a wig.  The hat flew off and the wig, still stuck to his forehead, flopped forward and covered his face.  Quickly he pushed the wig back onto the top of his head, held it down with his hand and then chased after his hat.  The scene was crazed  - people moved out of his way.  He was crazed - when his hat blew off, he lost his head.'
