Early, Raw, Uncooked...

Looking at a few earlier pieces today...talking very early...the painting below is from 25 years ago - not too long after the exhilarating stay in Rome, via RISD - where I got to do whatever I wanted - haha! Now, I still get to do what I want - but I gotta pay for it (in more ways than one!) Its nice to see some progress and to see a continuity in exploration at least. As a younger artist, art-making was all about ideas, but the older you get it just starts being about who you are....
