With not much else to do I'm thinking of going back into the studio. [View all]

This is a piece called "New Wrinkles" which represented a style evolution in my work from a flatter, tighter style to a more flowing, looser use of the paints and textures (acrylics, thickening mediums and with some collage)—thus the title. At the time I was still in New York in a co-op gallery on Mercer St, near Broadway and Houston. The work was figurative with some distortion and my themes were figures from African-American folk tales such as Frankie and Johnie, Stagger Lee and Billy, and John Henry.
