I’m very pleased to have my 2001 painting Portland still life included in Carl and David Little’s new book, “Paintings of Portland,” published by Down East Books. My first studio in Portland overlooked Congress and High Streets and had such an entirely different gestalt from my Chicago storefront studio, with its huge plate glass windows, western exposure, and dramatic shadows, that it took me a while to find a way in to incorporating this new space and its geometry into a painting.
