As the year comes to a close I have been backing paintings that I have done this year. I remembered someting my teacher, Marshal Glasier at the Art Students League of New York, said, “A painting has three lives, One when you do it, one when you hang it on the wall, and one when you sell it and send it into the world.”
With Ink Painting there is another, the life when you back it and it is wet on the drying board. It looks as it had never looked before and will never look again.
