Nothing was simple for "Skinny". He

| "Garden Scene #1" |
Woodcut Print 18/30 (Archival framed) 15 X 21"
$3200 Free shipping in the USA
"Garden Scene #1" is also known as "Gussie in the Garden". At the time "Skinny"
(as he was affectionately called) was head of the art department and a painting
instructor at Highlands University. The woodcut is of Gussie DuJartin, Skinny's
wife tending their woodland garden adjacent to the house they had in
Montezuma, just north of Las Vegas, New Mexico. Sometimes Gussie can be
seen next to the small stream which trickled through the garden area.
The print with its rhythm and patterns is closely related to his large color-field
pieces - a precise attention and care of the total surface. RT
