The Turbine

 

Oil on Canvas.  About 5' x 4'. 2002.

 

One of my first large-scale paintings, from an assignment titled "nude self-portrait."  At this stage I was still learning a lot of the technical aspects of what oil paint can do, and how to make it do those things.  The transparency of the turbines and the negative space of the clothing are the very beginning of my grasping the concept of layering that has become so central to my current work.
