Hi Girls. (1987)

I was painting this when Dorsey and I were first dating. Whenever she came over to my place, she'd say, "Hi Girls!" The name stuck.

State Park (1991)

These playful New York City boys were bussed from the city to a park in northern Westchester. Note that the image of the boy on the dock was reused from my earlier painting, "Lark on a Boat."

Dorsey on Striped Couch (1996)

As Dorsey lay there posing for this, she said her thoughts were anything but peaceful, as it looks in the painting. She was stressing about the bad "what-if's" life can bring. 😳
