Back To The Books was created as a classroom demo, using a brass bookend inspired by Rodin's The Thinker. I found this fantastic prop abandoned by an alley dumpster. 

 

The painting was part of my Exhibition of New Work, May 14-June 30, 2022. 

 

 

The inspiration and the painting. I found the brass bookend, a reproduction of Rodin's "The Thinker", in an alley near my studio. Coupled with some books from my shelves, I think it makes a nice combination.
