monet

"monet" acrylic, cement, on paper. app. 27 x 20 cm. 1989 public collection

well known boston interior designer charles spada has been a friend for over 20 years. charlie was instrumental in the creation of the AIDS hospice in boston by bringing together designers, artists, and charitable organizations for a much needed hospice for the dying. he asked me to donate a piece, preferably a landscape. since i lived in the center of the city without a car it was a bit difficult to get out into nature and work so i flipped through books and found a monet i liked. i remember kneeling on my studio floor doing version after version, hoping the process would take me somewhere. it didn't. but i liked this one. when charlie told me the patients loved it, that was all that mattered.
