Cube

[acrylic on masonite]

I was in the middle of working on this in the UGA art studio, when Bill Paul, 

director of the Ga Museum of Art, came in - I was sitting in a chair

looking at it, and he asked who did it - I said "I don't know, I was 

just admiring it" - he said it was the best painting he'd seen in the 

student studio in five years, so I admitted I was working on it.

He said "don't work anymore, it's done" - the tan stripes were

masking tape still on the masonite surface, so I removed them and

painted them on and stopped work.. he had no idea it was my

work because it wasn't like anything else I'd done, my work

had organic forms and was usually much more complex
