'Summer Romance'
'Summer Romance' 48 x 48", acrylic, tape, construction paper, Henry Miller novel on wood, sometime in 1994.
I had fallen hopelessly in love, for the first time (at 34) and was just freaking happy. I was skim-reading Opus Pistorum by Henry Miller, drunk and puking on the rail road tracks in Banff, laughing and tipping over canoes in the mountain river; and seeing all new types of possibilities in my painting. Here I repainted and collaged over an old painting in the spirit of the porno novel.
Lasted a summer; then became a bummer.
