In 1981 I found this oddment leaning against a trash can waiting for the weekly pickup by a house in Sunset Beach in California. Tissue paper collage and likely made by a child, something about it captured my imagination and though as a work of art it probably deserved the landfill, there was potential in it's subject and composition. I saved it, and with white paint I developed some contrast between the subject and it's background, gave it a title and called it my own! Twenty seven years later I now plan to use it as a study and work it out as a large painting in oil on canvas. Stay tuned for updates!
