Marcia was the name of a marigold plant a class of kindergarteners gave me as a present after I student-taught in their class at Duzine Elementary School.

"Mohonk"

1974; Pencil - Sketch of the 17th century cemetery in New Paltz, NY.

"Up The Hill"

1972; Pencil. This was done as an acrylic painting on birch panel, and was the first painting I ever exhibited at the college level. I took it to a portfolio showing at SUNY New Paltz when I was transferring in 1973. Some drunk kid decided to get into a wrestling match in my friend's dorm room, fell  into this painting, and hit it with such force that the panel cracked and broke into three pieces. So it goes.

1975; Pencil. Drawn in my parent's kitchen.

"Normie's Place"

1974; Pencil. The stairway in my high school friend Tom Ernst's house. Normie was a big black and white cat. This became an acrylic painting given to someone as a gift in 1975. In early 2001 I received an email from someone in Southern California to tell me she had just bought the painting in a Care-and-Share shop for $5. That made me laugh out loud. Definitely: so it goes.
