Mullet Ascension

February 6, 2012 by Rachael Shores

Mullet Ascension 8×10 watercolor

I think I’ll have to redo this painting one day.  I sort of got distracted by my hairstylist friend and her style.  It was so much fun and so easy to work her shop and her into this painting.  I was so excited when I came up with this idea.  A levitating mullet!  And my favorite is bringing in the modern to reflect the iconic painting.  My favorite is the flip-flops on the floor, explaining why the client is barefoot as he floats away.  I think I was getting tired of formal lettering too.  I just wanted to be funky.  It’s still Latin and this is the correct Latin,  on the authority of a real Latin teacher, Erin Baldwin, thank you SO much for your help.  It’s been so fun scheming with her.  This Latin phrase translates to: “Bless the hairdressers, whose purpose it shall be to produce mullets”.  This is the first painting her knowledge was able influence.

I still like this painting and I’m really happy with it but it might be a bit of a stretch to get the Biblical reference.  Or maybe it’s just perfect.  Discuss amongst yourselves:  the modern upbeat painting with the subtlety of religious undertones. How does it work?


This will be available as a print on Etsy.com after March 10.  I’ll be letting you know.
