This
summer, I was reunited with some of my old artwork in the form of drawings,
sketches and painted illustrations that have been in storage for the past
twenty years. I was pleasantly surprised
at how after all this time some of the paintings still held up, and were
surprisingly still satisfying to me personally.
The subject is obviously different from what I presently paint, but the
application of the paint is very similar (still) to what I do today….and
principals were, and are still the same. Of course, this leads to the question …..What
am I going to do with all of this stuff?
Is there possibly a market for some of these?
When we
left Ct. to move south in the mid nineties, I filled a one and a half Ton dump
truck with old illustrations and paintings that filled the loft over my garage/barn
and part of our attic. I kept quite a
few things from a couple of series….and yes the storage problem is still large. I have a couple of ideas that I will
eventually try, but in the mean time, I bring them to my painting classes for
the illustration students to poke through every year in the spring semester. This is just a sampling of that collection….I
hope you enjoy looking at some of these old images…..and, until next time,
thanks for tuning in to my Cajun ramblings!
