The painting was made using Frank's traditional
technique, oil thinned with turpentine on canvas board. It echoes the
underpainting stage that Frank used in creating his full color
creations. He also used this simple, monochromatic approach for final
art in a number of published pieces.
When I showed my illustration portfolio to Frank in
2000, he stopped at this piece and commented, "You're good". After
discovering his work 35 years earlier, I felt I had really
accomplished something.
