I started this painting in the nineties but didn’t finish it until 2023. It just didn’t feel right, so it was set in storage for a while. I was looking at the pile of bad paintings in 2023 and I saw something in it, so I began working on it again. I purchased my first VCR in the eighties, so I could rent movies. The old tape machines would blur and chop the image as you fast forwarded to the next scene on the old VCR machines.  The idea for this painting came from a feeling, at the time, that there were not enough seconds in the day to get everything done. I was pressed between work, school, and home. My life was trapped in the fast-forward mode. Is your life moving in a fast-forward mode?
