The painting below was completed over 30 years ago, as a conceptual portrait of my friend, the Madison-based saxophone player, Leo Maiberger. Leo was a very patient sitter and a mentor to my tastes in jazz. This image was part of a series of portraits of jazz musicians living in Madison. This image must have meant a lot to me because I’ve moved it many times. No more. I will destroy the canvas and archive it. The image seems like less now.
