Can an old artist dog learn new tricks? I have created an experiment for myself - painting a still life in a new way. This is WAY outside my comfortable box. It’s so far outside my box, I can’t even decide if I think it’s good art or not. I think so in my gut, but the part of me that resides in the box is screaming for precision, and proper perspective, and life-likeness.

Despite my hesitation, I’ve decided to hang this piece and the smaller studies I did for it at the S.P.A.C.E. Gallery for ArtHop 2019 anyway, and see how people respond. What the heck, it’s just art. Um, right?
