I painted Ephemerata in the winter of 2001/2002, one of many paintings I created during what I can only call a ferocious flurry of painterly activity that winter. I made a lot of paintings in a remarkably short period of time. In fact this was the most prolific period of my painting life. I exhibited this painting, along with a number of others in the series at Loop Gallery. This one is about three feet wide. This painting contains some collage taken from some older paintings and is painted with oil and some industrial paints on canvas. Ephemerata is being adopted into a loving home where it will get the care and feeding it deserves.
