THANATOS (1983)
Acrylic - 24" x 36"
Just before beginning this painting I broke my right hand—my painting hand!—and found myself forced to function with my fingers, wrist, and arm immobilized in a cast. Determined not to let the injury stop me, I employed tricks to circumvent my infirmity. 1/5

I took a paintbrush to the doctor’s office so the cast could be molded around my hand holding the brush. That way I could still paint large areas with that hand. Then I relearned how to paint with my left hand. Although I am not ambidextrous, I had done left-handed artwork before and managed. 2/5
