"Self Portrait With Christine"

The story behind the painting:
This is one of my later paintings from the SAILOR days. It balances the two fundamental symbols in my life with my then wife Christine. On her side of the painting there is the grounded world, depicted by the buildings in the background, representing her enormous support for my work during those early difficult years. On my side of the painting, one sees the floating street lamps which represent the dreamer in me, trying to give light to my ideas.
