After making the above posts I had an ancient memory return. When I was a younger man, just out of school, and sporting a small amount of discretionary income, I purchased my first original work of art.
It would be many years before I would take up painting. The remarkable thing to me now is that this could easily be considered a portrait. I guess I was too unsophisticated to realize that you don't buy portraits in a gallery.
This is a partial image, all I could get on my scanner, through glass. The image continues on to our right to a great hand on the neck of the guitar.
S. L. Thompson watercolor 14x22
