Oil on canvas

60x80

1989

At the age of fourteen I grabbed a set of old oils and applying the paint directly onto the canvas from the tubes this painting emerged, opening up a new direction of expression for me, and in fact giving me the excitement to continue a looser style of art. This painting signifies the beginnings of my own personal style, and a new found confidence in the visual arts.
