38x38

Paint realistically.  But paint what realistically.  

38x38" canvases that I stretched at once to avoid a break between sessions.

From photos that I'd put aside months or years ago.  The time lapse seems to have eroded the memory I had of the place down to the photo's composition.  

My only painting from the city of Szentgotthard (St.Gotthard).  A Hungarian border town that was once isolated due to its geographic proximity to the iron curtain.  Not quite a Juarez, perhaps more forgettable.  Why I like it.
