FROM THE ARCHIVE II

Thursday, March 26th, 2009 by Jon

Completed almost 15 years ago these  paintings formed a small corner of my Masters show. The top two have a width of 6ft and the third was 4ft square. They were photographed (badly) onto slide film and scanned (badly). Still, it’s good to revisit.
