What's Old is New...

It's a new year and I find myself looking back - way back to paintings I did in the late 1980's and early 1990's.  Some of you will be familiar with the paintings from this time and some of you may be quite surprised to learn that I once worked like this.  It's quite a leap from these paintings to the "Italianate" still lives, etc. that I'm known for now but apparently it's all part of the journey...


The Nearness of Stars, 72"x66", 1990



Self-Portrait as a River, 72"x66", 1991

I"ll keep looking back through my archives and if something interesting pops up I'll share it here.  And, you never know, I may find myself working similar to this again someday!
