American Odalisque 
(96.5" x 115" x 3", acrylic on canvas, 1985)  

I was relearning how to paint when I did this one. I had quit painting for about five years and had just started back. It was influenced by Tom Wesselman's Great American Nude series. I always thought it belonged over a bar, preferably somewhere in the Deep South.
