Blowing Smoke (Portrait of Aaron Shikler)
Aaron Shikler was my friend and mentor for many years, and this was the scene that typically punctuated each of my visits with him. His studio was always filled with the warm scent of turpentine, oil paint, and the ever-present smell of tobacco. I’d watched him light his pipe hundreds of times. It was a scene that begged to be painted.
