New Orleans-Paintings

These were good years. I was at Tulane on a scholarship and a teaching assistantship. I went there as a printmaking major but shifted to painting. I continued teaching the beginning printmaking classes in what was their fundamentals program. Entered a lot of shows and was accepted in most and won a few.

So off to the Herron School of Art in Indianapolis. You often wonder how different things could have been if different choices were made or were available. I had teaching job possibilities at the University of Hawaii and at UNLV and neither one of these got funded. Aloha. There was another at the Memphis Academy of Art and I don't recall why that one didn't work. Eastern Kentucky didn't feel I was right for their program. The big disappointment was the Atlanta School of Art. What I wanted to do was go back there and teach but there were no openings at the time. I should have just gone to Atlanta anyway.
