This is an ancient painting of mine, started just after the beginning of the year in 1986. The frame/canvas measures 3 feet by 3 feet and it was hand sawn, glued, nailed and then the fabric stretched by hand as well. Then it was primed and light sanded to smooth the stray fibers. I don't know how many hours it took but it was the last piece I did before the end of the school year and in fact was the last painting I did in High School. I seem to recall I did some pencils for the last few weeks before we all ran for the door and graduation. It was displayed prominently in the art department hall with a few others for 3 weeks. The painting remained hanging another week until I passed by and picked it up. Amazing to think that none of the displayed pieces were damaged considering the art department was on the far end of the campus and prone to attracting the more psychopathic problem students. A different time I guess.
