I painted this fun little guy in about an hour. My great uncle John stopped his truck to ask what I was painting when he couldn't see anything but the slash pile. I showed him the painting and he asked, "What are you going to call it?"
"I don't know... hmm. Slash Pile." He squinted and sat back.
"I was thinking something more like, Man's Progress in the Wilderness." I laughed and said I thought he should name all of my paintings. It's funny how something very ordinary or even ugly seems important to people if there's a painting of it. I guess even Mao Zedong knew that.
