(2011 update: Not actually the first painting I ever did, only the first that is still in my possession. To my knowledge there are at least two other surviving earlier works (circa 1996) out there that have not been put in garbage cans yet. To those of you who miraculously still have my early stuff, hang on to it, it may be worth a fortune someday (chuckle).

What is interesting about this painting is that because I liked how it turned out (in 2006 that is), I decided to keep on painting. If it had been a dud would I still be painting today? Given the number of paintings I did after that I ended up hating or abandoning, it would see that fate smiled on me that day.)
