“The Pool”, Oil on Panel, 24″ x 36″ (61 x 91.5 cm), 2009
I had the initial idea for,”The Pool” when I went out with some friends to see a turtle derby in Los Angeles in the summer of 2005. Perhaps the large rectangular ring set up as a racing rink for turtles suggested the cubic bath central to the composition. I’m not sure. Besides – I never saw any racing turtles – the atmosphere of the club was unbearable – a college frat scene pick up joint – so I just hid in a corner since I didn’t like it. I amused myself by making the preliminary sketch for this painting. Since that time I have worked on the painting off and on until finally I have completed it - three and a half years later.
