Unrequited Diver. 20 X 16, Acrylic on canvas.

This is my image of unrequited love. It looks like a movie set inbetween scenes, and the river feels to me like the Nile, which I have never seen. Most words on this topic seem rather sappy, so I’ll just mention that I owned a small truck at the time, like the one in this painting. I was thinking of this very special woman one day while trying to make a left turn at Riverside and South First where I thought I had the right of way. After I lost the truck, it occured to me that fate might have served me well by not fulfilling my urgent wish for ideal love since I probably dont have the apparatus to process its eventual departure. Of course, it took some years to realize that, just a couple of weeks to paint this picture…enjoy!
