"Protagonist", 36" x 48", 1987?I remember challenging myself to make a cheesy romance-novel type painting. This was not done joyfully. I was punishing art, and myself. The foreground figure shows the loose paint method I used for much of the 1980s. The rest shows me struggling to paint. No idea how it survived long enough to be photographed, but I'm happy to have the image. It really cracks me up.

Harlequin Gauguin. Genre-bending at its best.
Heh. I read those a lot for several teenaged years.
I like the struggling to paint part.
Protag sees more humor now.
:-)
Wry irony is so 1980s (and mid-20s)
