Paintings: Fickle fate

Here are a few paintings I did in the mid 1990s, part of a show (at Braunstein / Quay in S.F.) that hardly happened -- it seemed like no one saw it, and nothing sold.

I decided afterwards there were too many "just decent" pictures in the show, and painted over nearly all of them (luckily I took pictures, which I finally posted).  The experience was a reminder that the creative life can be cruel -- not only do you have to produce good work, but you have to deal with rejection when trying to get a show, then bad luck if the show fizzles.

(That sniveling makes me think "Boo hoo...  You take the scenic route, then complain about the bumpy road?")
