Picture of the Week #194 "Guarding the Modern Art" France  1982 Signed and Stamped

I painted this picture in 1983, but for the life of me I can't remember if this was in Paris or the South of France. I do know that this picture was taken in 1982. I went through my 35mm slides but couldn't find the original. I also remember that I had a few pictures of this guard and remember he moved away as if to allow me to photograph the paintings. Little did he know I was more interested in him and his demeanor than the abstract images that flanked him. When I created the painting from this photo I made up my own abstracts which were more colorful and flamboyant than these. Thirty years later this looks as fresh as when I took it.
