Casey and Sharon, Thanks for your comments.

Casey, I’m fine. My wife has been in hospitals quite a bit lately as she’s treated for a recurrence of breast cancer.

You produce the most amazing paintings of these odd places. The composition and colors in this just hum. I also reallyy like the grey/brown chair. (I’m totally with you on hating exam rooms/doc visits. After rescheduling my annual physical three times I actually showed up last week. Glad it’s over.I hope your wife’s recovery is going well.)

Only you could turn a sterile, depressing place like this into such a fascinating, vibrant painting. this is great.
I hope you’re ok, Bill. Take good care of yourself.

Celeste, I consider it high praise to be compared to William Wray (Painter of Blight). He’s one of my heros. I actually did include a dumpster in a watercolor I posted back on Dec 13th.

David, Thanks for stopping by. I do like the computer rig.

I feel the same way, Bill…I’m 61! Oh well. Your sketches and this painting look great. Dig that computer set up.

Bill, It makes me a little sad to think you had to spend enough time in a room like this to be able to take it all in with such accuracy. …….But! you did manage to infuse this rather grim subject with a hopeful warmth. Bee Hives and exam rooms. You’re like the Oregonian version of Wray? Dumpsters next, I suspect.

p.s. teasing you, I like these unusual subjects!
