In 1989, after a half-lifetime of making only abstract art, I started making paintings portraying the Provincetown Art community at leisure – what people do when they are not working – the fabric of life that draws people back every year.
Since then I have made over 160 paintings in this series of notable talents such as Norman Mailer, Robert Motherwell, Stanley Kunitz, Alan Dugan, Douglas Huebler, Justin Kaplan, Joel Meyerowitz, Annie Dillard, Mark Strand, Sebastian Junger, Alec Wilkinson, E.J. Kahn, Jr, Varujan Boghosian, Daniel Okrent, Mischa Richter, Al Jaffee, Lee Falk, Elise Asher, Anne Bernays. The dimensions of most pieces are either 60 x 43 inches or 40 x 30 inches
