Oil on Canvas, 20”w. x 30”h., 1994-6 For years I taught my students to interpret art & communicate their feelings through the psychological use of color, line, shape & page placement. It was my practice to have my students interpret my paintings as learning experience for all of us. At one of these my students brought to my attention that in each of my paintings was an area of foreboding darkness. They challenged me to explore this darkness in a psychological self-portrait. This is the result.
