The front hand looks very out of proportion to the rest. Not sure if all Flower Throwers are like this?

In English it also means fin. So it has the same meaning, that is, people who take something to resell it and catapult it. :-)))

Any comparison should be made with the 2017 version first seen at the walled off, which is way more similar to Elton's than the 2019 one.

The Collection of Sir Elton John: Opening Night, by cemltz on Jan 15, 2024 21:09:19 GMT 1, Since the work was done in 2010, earlier examples are probably better comparisons. I believe first “Love Is In The Air” was Palestine 2002?
Interestingly, the vast majority of the 2002-06 editions on canvas (even those w/ color) appear to have a generally correct (bad) hand/claw, but the angle of the bouquet is far more forward (like the print). There is one version from 2006 that appears to have the right bouquet, but different (bad) hand/claw.

The triptych version was first seen in 2017, the year in which Elton coincidentally bought it , there's no trace of it before.
Strange how a groundbreaking artist and so called genius will be stuck painting the same works for over 20 years.

It actually looks more like this one. I like the version owned by Elton John much more.
If anyone has a canvas like this and wants to catapult it for £100, I'm ready to buy it immediately.
It would look good on the fireplace.
Even though I don't have a fireplace.

Destroy such a work of art? It would be a stupid and senseless gesture.
It would look great hanging on the wall. If I really had to do something that an enthusiast would never want to do, it would be to sell it at an international auction.
Obviously donating at least half to a charity.
In that case I would prefer a children's hospital. In these places you can save the lives of thousands of children. And maybe in there, there could be a child, who as an adult will do great things for humanity.
Children are not to blame.
Not even a good portion of the adult population.
It is the rest of the world's population that makes the world go wrong.

Proves we were right that it was falsely dated 😎 just like the shredded balloon girl was falsely dated by 12 years and had a false backstory.
