Describing this painting the artist wrote, “Above you see the completed fantasy, but one selectively constructed and painted from real life. Nancy says it is like a whole motion picture condensed into flash of color and form as a painting. It is a combination of what was there, what could have been there, and by their absence, all the things I chose not to include.”
