THE STORY BEHIND THE COVID REX SERIES

After Katrina I relocated to Baltimore, MD. During myself-imposed 

Covid quarantine, I found myself with a stack of my silkscreen prints of 

The Rex Parade in black and white on heavy art paper, the reverse side was an excellent surface for oil paint. It was the first time I had the opportunityto spend at least a year with nothing else to do but paint.


After 3 years I have over 40 oil paintings on heavy paper that measures

30" x 22". Each with an image of The Rex Parade on the reverse.

The process was almost meditative and produced my best work.
