You wouldn't believe the conversations this painting has sparked throughout the past 16 years. I painted this for my painting class in college, around 1994ish. I stored it in the art bldg until the end of the semester, but when I returned to retrieve it after finals it was gone. I was miffed, to say the least. After a month off for winter break, I returned to Denton to work and get ready for the Spring semester. A friend invited me to celebrate New Year's at the home of a group of guys she knew, so I went. After being there for a while, I needed to use the restroom so I wandered around the house looking for it. As I turned the corner to the hallway, there was MY painting, hanging upside down in this guy's house. You can not even imagine the horror this guy felt when I told him it was MINE and it clearly had MY name written on the back of it. Long story short, he was extremely apologetic and had been mistakenly told that people had the freedom to raid the art bldg. at the end of each semester (uh....lame-o). I let him keep it up for that spring semester, as I really had no where to hang it, plus I thought he was kinda cute and I developed a little crush on the guy :o). People have seen anything from a cat's eye to a fish, to the black hole in this painting. What do you see in it?
