The Way We Were VI was created by collaging  prints on paper of two of my pre-Katrina paintings. For many months after Katrina, our beautiful coast looked like it had been hit by a nuclear blast. Before the storm however, it was a lush and beautiful place that I could not stay away from, nor keep myself from painting its glory. I decided that I wanted to give viewers here in Kentucky an idea of my home. This collage was made from images of a sunset on the beach and a painting I called “Full Moon Egret.”
