September 11 '01 
(43" x 46.5", oil on canvas, January 2002)

This picture was 90 percent finished when the Sept. 11 attack on America took place. The next day a friend saw it and said it reminded him of the rubble at the World Trade Center. Perhaps on that day anything would have. Ironically, there was an unintended patriotic theme. It was painted over an old painting of an American flag, much of which is still visible.

I quit working on it that day and let it sit for months. I finally put the finishing touches on it in January 2002.
