## Caption

Rest in peace Mr. Wilder. Your performances have given me great inspiration throughout my life. In 2009 when galleries1988 asked me to participate in their #Crazy4Cult show I knew I had to pay homage to Willy Wonka. I was mesmerized by Wilder's range of moods in the film. I hoped to capture that slightly inviting with an ominous glow to his eyes the he effortlessly brought to the screen. Little did I know this painting would catapult my career into a second phase that's lasted almost 10 years. Everyone van feel free to repost this or the painting of Wonka. Thanks to everyone that has already shared it.  #thankyou #rip #genewilder #willywonka #respect
