I have been very busy with that teaching thing....

I was flipping through some old sketchbooks the other day and found this funky little sketch....I remember thinking when I'd done it that I'd drawn something from my past.....no, I'm not one to really go for reincarnation or anything like that, but if I remember correctly, I had recently read Bruce Chatwin's The Songlines, which is a fabulous little book about remembering and discovering....

And, I was looking through old slides and found this work, which is oil stick on tar paper, done about 20 years ago! It's in the collection of my friend Barry Motes....I think I will post a few older things here and there...looking at them makes my fingers itch to work.....I love the texture and color of this one---I remember the tar paper was lots of fun to work with, and I understand the peice has held up over the past 20 years, which sort of surprises me, I guess.
