Lost Painting: Early Harvest

Here is one of my favorite paintings -- in spite of its Halloween color -- that did not survive.  It was too dark, and had to be optimally lit in a dark room to look as sharp as the image here.

I made the painting with a tedious and difficult process, where layer after layer of thin paint was poured over a slightly textured surface.  I loved some of the results, but like a lot of work based on a tricky process, there wasn't much room for growth, and I had to move on to a process with more promise.

The painting was done in 1994, and was 48 by 48 inches.
