Completed 35 years ago, this large oil painting was among a series of “portraits” of fellow grad students’ studios. Before I move the canvas to climate-controlled storage, I took a new picture of it for cataloging purposes. My style has certainly evolved, through several major changes, and much of an artistic vision remains in place. Chief among latent characteristics are priorities for visual rhythm, for precise color choices, and a personal response to linear perspective.
