Janice and Linda at Richard and Anita Silver's Wedding, 1974,

acrylic on canvas, 42x60 inches.

From the collection of Mr & Mrs Brian Higgins.

The wedding was held in Carmel Valley a few years before the painting was made from black and white photographs.

The painting was among others exhibited in March of 1975 at the Lucien Labaudt Gallery in San Francisco and was specifically mentioned by Chronicle art critic Thomas Allbright in his review of the show, which was generally unfavorable. Allbright noticed the painterly qualities of women's dresses but nothing else.

I thought it a fairly great painting, still do, and I kept it till the mid eighties when I gave it to Janice , on the left, who hangs it, happily, in her dining room.

She and Brian have other paintings and drawings, among them the oil painting below, one of the few I ever made in that medium.

Untitled landscape, 1969, 36x28 inches, oil on masonite.

They also have the two watercolors below, the pasture behind the bunk house at Battle Mountain Ranch, from 2003, and a view of the beach looking south from the Redondo Pier, 2004. Both are about 11x15 inches.

And Janice has both a black Encounter poster and a red Encounter poster.
