Have you heard the one
about the butcher who backed into the meat grinder? He got a little behind in his work.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m
not that butcher as I work on this Paducah Portfolio, getting behind in the
work. Actually not “behind” but “behinds”. I’ve just completed another painting,
and like so many others, it depicts the back of a series of buildings on
Broadway. It is not as if I don’t
like the fronts of the buildings, but there are so many interesting lines,
shapes, and textures in the back that do not conform to any pattern, and I
think it this mix of non-conforming lines and shapes that captures my
attention.

I won't tell you where this is, but here is a hint...someone very dear to me works in one of these buildings. (click on the image to see the full painting which is aprox. 19x25")
Just when I think I’m
about done I find more places demanding to be included in the portfolio. If I don’t figure out how to say no I
will end up with a totally unwieldy tome that weighs 25 pounds or more!
