Continuing with this theme of showing some of my older work…
Back in about 1994, I had some paintings in an exhibit called “Keepers Of The Waters” which was at the Grand Marais Art Colony. Three in series were entitled “If I’m Drowning”, “Dancing With The Ghost of Future Tears” and “The Great Train Robbery of my Soul.” They pictured me under water with fish all around me in the first two images, and then this was the third. You could see it as sad or morbid or scary, but to me the effect was comforting. I saw it as a coming to grips with the inevitibility of death… someday.
