Untitled (1984)

This image was created when I took one of my paintings that seemed to be a failure and then cut it up and pasted it back together, along with pieces from other unsuccessful paintings, in a way that didn't feel like a failure. It may have once had a title, but I don't remember what that might be. It is one of the few paintings no one bought. I can understand why. It is jarring. I suppose it could be called a collage. The original image was derived from a photograph of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan in 1976 during the Rolling Thunder Tour.

Woman Dancing By Herself

When I first posted this drawing today I gave it the title "Woman Dancing Alone," but in thinking about the drawing afterward, I remembered that it is called "Woman Dancing by Herself." She is not dancing alone.

Witness with Courage (1984)

There is fierce wind and rain outside my window this morning. The lights have been flickering. Georgia O'Keeffe said: “I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life -- and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.”
