This is the largest piece for the show (30x40"). There came a time about 5 years ago when Mr. Glaisek told me it was time to paint a larger work. This self-portrait is the result. It hangs in the stairwell going up to my attic office/studio. I worked out several versions of this, including selected sections on preliminary canvases, mostly out of fear for ruining the larger work in progress and may show some of these, space permitting, in the show. The setting is Mr. Glaisek's studio in Nyack, NY. The works on the table and floor are from other students; we were allowed to leave in progress works in his large workspace. I like the relaxed pose and the fact that I do not look so fat!
