Score and a Half Spent - créé en 1996 & achevé en 2026

Yesterday saw to the completion of a painting that took thirty years to fully realize. The first effort, 'Summer Spent' was painted in 1996 and even upon stepping away, I never felt that it was complete. Last year in preparation for getting all of my art cataloged and used for the ASF website and galleries, I saw this piece again and mused that it would undergo a rework in the near future. As I approached the piece with new paints circling table, I stopped to appreciate the 'bones' of the original and used their queues to rebuild what was my intent way back when. Time is kind in giving experience and skills that prepared me to make the wholesale changes yet preserve the vibrant spirit from where it jumped off from. The title is a playful nod to the duration required to complete it at last: 'Score and a Half Spent'
