One of many such paintings I used to do because I had to conserve canvass. Van Gogh used to do this. He would take out one enormous canvass and do several paintings on it during the coarse of the painting day. The top left may be a premonition of me doing landscape painting or, as it's called in the vernacular, "au pein aire", in some desert region. It was from memory of me walking past Gramercy Park in NYC, but the green figure denotes not-yet-thereness, if you will, that it's in some future and the landscape certainly isn't a walk-in-the-park sort of environment.
Self Portrait (from memory), walking beside Grammercy Park with back pack and
paint box.

One thing before I forget, I'd just like to take a second to express gratitude concerning my late Mom, who went to such great lengths to preserve these early works of mine. If it weren't for her they would probably have been lost. Now they're playing a most unusual role in this web site. A next step in the history of fine art, perhaps. At least they help me to sort of state my case, as it were. It was not easy to do, considering the many moves and hard life she had and Mom enlisted the help of others, principle the two Dads: Poppa Bob and The Nightclub Violinist.
