interiors

                    how this bunch of paintings came about-

my studio space where i lived on the sly (it had a sink and i had a thin red futon which i rolled up and sat on while i painted) was slated for demolition or the building was being renovated so i needed a new space or spaces. i set off to look with several other painters and we had the luck of finding an older couple who had a building they wanted us to use and not only were we going to have our own bedrooms but upstairs there was an interior, windowless room that was none the less bright with peeling yellow ochre paint.

in another life there was a time when my son let me read some time life art books to him. he liked the pictures and the dreadful prose put him to sleep after a page or so. we started out with watteau who doesn’t figure in this show, then moved on to picasso who then had a big show at the Seattle Art Museum which we visited several times, not without some behavior that brought the disapprobation of the guards.
