Mechanism ©1991 70” x 70” oil on canvas

This was my first painting where I stepped back and said "Did I do that?" and "Can I do that?" I can't say that I really knew what it was about, but I do recall thinking about engines and motors. The painting captured my feelings about innovations and how we make marvelous things, yet in some cases we have invented silly things.
This painting is "in the world."

PROJECT: My history of painting
A box of slides sits on my desk. I am going through my painting history and will share the journey here. For years, I have been meaning to do this. Now is the time because I am in my studio working on a new series that I will share in the spring!
Please enjoy these paintings created while I was in my 20s and 30s.
