This for JP - I often go back to your studio log to visit the painted hospital twenty- something artist pictured there. Something comforting about that environment,and i like the paintings. I like the exuberance and passion of youth exhibited there, the confidence and arrogance and ignorance all mixing wildly together, cold-hearted cynicism yet to come. i also painting my digs and contents white as a youth, but often upon moving in...
by the way, a belated Happy Birthday! I have posted a photo on my studio log of what I was doing on June 23, 1963...my first solo show.

Thanks Arnold for the birthday wishes. I'm late in replying as I'm back in Ireland for a month working as a laborer for my brother as he builds a showroom for his business. I'm adding this message on his office computer while I take five minutes off from plastering the ceiling.
Saw the poster for your first show all those years ago. Does the tradition still exist of taking on a space for a show?
