Description

9/11  - I started drawing when the second plane crashed. I drew and drew and drew.  The next morning, I selected three 40" x 60" canvases and began to paint all three as a painting of one.  Listening heartsick to the continuous news coverage and using my sketches from the day before, I began to paint and paint. I produced a black and white painting, 5' by 10', similar to Picasso's Guernica, completing it in one week. On the canvas, I painted my feelings about the atrocity. Our world is over as we knew it. A new one is opening on the horizon and we proceed on the journey. Our nation has changed forever.
