"The Flower"
October-December, 1975
Egg Tempera on Panel, 20 x 8"

This one did not work out as I had planned, essentially a failure.  The Klimt influence is obvious. The pigment I used for the stylized sun was a copper mineral - highly toxic - that I filched from the campus ceramics studio, that was normally used in creating pot glazes. This painting no longer exists.
