This is a "remix" of an old painting. The original oil-paint-on-linen was configured as a rectangle, in landscape format, 22 inches tall by 26 inches wide. For the remix I formatted it as a square and removed a signature in the lower right corner, otherwise it looks the same. I had a 4x5 photo-transparency of the painting so was able to get a clear, detailed scan.
The original image appeared in color in a Houston gallery guide, in conjunction with a show I did at W. A. Graham gallery the next month. The painting ended up not appearing in the show.
I thought of this because it's similar to work I've been doing recently. Some might say better -- it's certainly more action-packed. I think I'm calmer now than I was around the time of the First Gulf War.
