I took this photograph and then painted with gouache over it. I subsequently gave the painted photo to my dealer as a gift, and she turned around and sold it soon after. I was hurt by her selling it so promptly. Of course, she might have just needed the money and/or not liked the image. I had kept no record of it, but I remember that I had loved the painting and had assumed she would do the same.
30+ years of paintings, talked about one painting at a time: what went into the paintings, what I was trying to say, what was happening at the time of my life that I made the paintings. The paintings themselves are narrative, and this adds a little more to the story that they tell.
