1996, oil on canvas - 30x36"

    In this painting I acknowledge and accept my imperfect state of being. The painting started out to be something completely different then what it ended up being.

    When I finished drawing the grid, I realized I made a mistake. The mistake made the original idea impossible to do. I was very angry with myself and wanted to destroy the canvas, but I remembered something my grandmother said many times, "Make the best of it." So looking myself squarely in the eyes, I made the best of it.
